@danadcm69 I have background noise on a lot too. A fan or tv or something. I have had the same experience with the noise too where it feels too loud or too quiet. It gets very frustrating. Also hard to sit in a restaurant. I always bring ear plugs. The app I use at night is ReSound. You can layer sounds to best mask the sound of your tinnitus. And it has a timer function which is nice. I’m also tracking the latest tinnitus research. The two I’m most interested in are the Susan Shore device and spi-1005. I haven’t had any treatments for the tinnitus. I’m just giving it time. Is your ENT an otologist? Be sure you are seeing an otologist or a neurotologist specifically, not just a general ENT, if possible. They can also order an MRI or a CT to check for anatomical abnormalities that might be impacting your tinnitus. And also talk to them about anything like TMJ dysfunction that could also be contributing.

@kap333 My doctor's appointment card shows he is "Board certified in otolaryngology/head and neck surgery". Does that mean he is an otologist? I have had recent (last month) CT and MRI in the ER due to stroke symptoms. I was ok as far as stroke per the hospital, and my ENT has reviewed also and said it was all good. I don't think I have TMJ, that's jaw pain, correct? Thank you for your input, it helps!
