Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?

I remove the hearing aids at night. I put in Sony ear buds, the soft kind with a rubber you can change depending on your ear canal size. I plug them into a Sony Walkman and enjoy nature sounds all night (babbling brook, ocean waves, sounds made to mask tinnitus, etc). You can use a computer and program your favourite songs onto the Walkman. it also plays FM radio. I had to learn to sleep on my back and that way I don’t feel the ear buds at all. I also sleep with the head of the bed raised. Mobile bed is very good for that. It took me about a week to adjust to sleeping on my back. Before that I was a side sleeper and loved that position. Also, if you sleep on your back it should be ok to sleep with hearing aids but you would need to program some music or other noise, otherwise the hearing aids won’t be hearing any sound in a quiet room.

🧐 wow That’s a lot of work just to sleep however I won’t use my earbuds when I’m trying to sleep because I don’t need blue noise white noise, green noise. I need no noise- that’s the point and it’s not happening - and Dr don’t get it. They say the same thing. Well here we’ll give you therapy. You can play sounds. I don’t want sounds newsflash. I do not want sounds I need quiet.
oh well as the world turns-
I’m OK during the day because of all the surround sound in the outside.

Sleep is struggle- however like everything else, I am slowly getting used to it talking myself into sleep, go to sleep, close your eyes, etc. etc.
Thanks for your info. I’ve researched it all. There is no answer no matter what they say. There is no answer. You gotta do it yourself.😎
