Tinnitus and Ototoxicity from Antibiotic. Please help?

I have Tinnitus as a consequence of my hearing loss and I have found a surprisingly simple and quite effective relief that works for me. Soft saxophone music. I am not a sax aficionado. I discovered this accidentally when I randomly turned on so David Sanborn recordings and noticed that my Tinnitus disappeared. This may be a fluke, but it can't hurt to try. Both my audiologist and ENT found it interesting. I have wondered if it may be because of the saxophone's complex harmonics? Anyway, relaxing jazz is an effective therapy for me.

That's very interesting! I did read that low music in the background can help tune it out. It's worse when I'm stressed or in a completely quiet room. At times I have to have the TV on quite loud to drown the tinnitus out. I also noticed that for some reason, it's worse when I'm inside certain structures. I found that to be strange. It's less when I"m outside and it may be because of the visual distractions of nature and noises. I also have an APP on my phone I downloaded that lets you design your own "soundscapes" of nature, music, sounds, white noise, etc... I use it when I absolutely can't avoid the tinnitus. Thank you for sharing your story and suggestions!
