My name is Rosemary, I'm 79 and I have tinnitus, not whistles or roaring wind but full concert orchestra of classical music over and over 24/7/52. I have not heard of the Lenire treatment and will look it up.

It’s helpful to know I am not the only one listening to music 24/7. Thank you for sharing .

Rosemary, I am wondering if what you are experiencing is possibly an "earworm" or involuntary musical imagery? Tittitus is usually a tone, roar or static sound. If you are hearing repeating melodies, that is more likely involuntary musical imagery. You might try chewing gum, which can sometimes interrupt earworm. [Earworm is not an actual worm in the ear, it is the name for a melody that "gets stuck" in our mind.]
