I've had it for 2 years now, but from about January to June I habituated and didn't notice it very often. Even in quiet rooms I barely would pay attention.
Now all of a sudden it's much louder and has been for 3 weeks. I ultimately want to forget about it like last time or perhaps hope it gets quieter again. I have been extremely stressed about my job for the last month so maybe that's not helping.
My question is: if I start using sleep sound masks to get rest or to relax will I train my brain to rely on them? Will my brain have a harder time "forgetting" that I have tinnitus?
