Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?
It there any solution for constant tinnitis?
I have high pitched tones constantly though I have learned to ignore it mostly.
It can become louder at times, even loud enough to make me wince!

My hearing aids have an option of setting it to Tinnitus, which provides a background noise. I have moved on to a paid app called "Calm", which allows you to choose the kind of music you like (no words, and you can add nature sounds - up to 3 - to your music). I found that the best choice for me is music that dogs like! You will find the kind of sounds you like, then focus on them. You will learn that you can filter out the ringing in the ears.

2 ReactionsMost sellers of custom hearing aids are required to give a 30 day trial period and must take them back within that timeframe if they don’t suit you.

2 ReactionsI have always been a musician and have had tinnitus for almost 40 years now. Acquired it in my early 30s, and I was told then, there is no cure, and read it many times since. All you can do is try to ignore it. If I am busy dealing with life, everyday living, etc, I can tune it out. If it is quiet and I am alone with my thoughts. The tinnitus volume is at 50%, but it is so far higher-pitched than normal sounds that it doesn't interfere with hearing.
I have seen ads on ways of curing it. But doubt it. Eventually, I just learned to live with it. Just like I periodically get 'floaters' in my eyes, which might stay for weeks, months, or even years. I just learn to ignore them, and most of the time, the ringing in my ears doesn't bother me, but it has never made me wince. I would check with an ear doctor.

1 ReactionI boycotted them. 🫤
I get some relief from Melatonin.
3 mg 30 minutes before bedtime.
If no relief after 1 hour, another 1.5
After another hour, 3 mg.
If I’m up at 2:30, a sleeping pill.
Really I think that medical research is the answer that we are all hoping will provide a solution if not a cure.
I use Bernafon and was able to get one as I only needed for my right ear. I understand your frustration as when you get it very loud it’s hard for others to understand why it’s hard to train your brain to ignore. I live with it but definitely socialise less as it’s too much work.
