Try ear plugs but the tapping on the back of the head trick works temporarily (shorter based on how bad your tinnitus is). Take your hands and put them facing backward on the back of your head covering your ears completely, tap your fingers on the back of your skull (while keeping your ears covered) like you're playing drums. Do this for I dunno, 30 seconds or so. It temporarily takes away the issue. I use white noise (or brown noise) to help with it. I sleep with a fan, but have since I was a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuJ9L5aBvio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuJ9L5aBvio I prefer the above (brown). Helps me ignore outside noises and covers (at low volume) my tinnitus.
