Tinnitus for Many Years, Sleep Does Not Come to Me

[Clayton]

I have been surviving on a couple of hours of sleep for quite some time now and am fortunate if I get any. I can't remember silence. I've lost interest in many things because it is so difficult to concentrate. I see where some are able, or trying, to mask this sound, but I have found nothing to over power it. I went in for an MRI and was sure it would mask the sounds in my head, but it had no effect. Finding help with this has left me empty.

Can you take any sort of sleeping pills? I'm so sorry about your difficulties. I hope it eases for you.

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried Melatonin? If your tinnitus is high pitched, try cicadas, heavy rain, waterfall, shower, even squeaky faucet sound. Also on YouTube try search Most Powerful Tinnitus Therapy sound. These should help mask high pitched T.
