Wat do?
Have you tried that thing where you cup your hands over your ears and thump your fingers on your head? I can't explain it very well but there's videos of people doing it. It helps a little bit. Also anything like advil/tylonel makes it way worse for me for some reason. Sometimes I just hum or swish my fingers around in my ears. It fucking sucks because the more stressed you get about it the worse it gets. But it's hard to relax with that fucking noise. Sometimes rocking back and forth makes it stop but only if I keep rocking.

This thing?
1k likes and everyone in the comments says it doesn't do shit. I started with Zinc and of course I it doesn't do shit either.

You have to do it for like a min straight and then it takes like 5-10 min for it to work. It just makes it less loud for me. Zinc never helped me. B12 kind of does sometimes.

Thanks, I'll try it this evening.
So basically if it doesn't work the only exit is death?
Buy speakers and learn to fall asleep to soothing music or white/pink noise.

This. Or a fan or A/C.
I'm 64 and have had it all my life. You'll learn to live with it.

part of what's distressing is that you attach a really bad emotional state to it. I have tinnitus bad in one ear too. What I did was learn to think of it as a "sleeping aid" in the sense that I can fall asleep to the sound it makes. I think of it as a soothing sound now (even though it isn't) so I barely even notice it anymore; and when I do, I'm ok with it.
