I'm thrilled it works for you and I'm sorry yours is so bad. Mine is average I'd guess, but I actually avoid those apps that generate these sounds because once I listened and heard the REAL silence, I knew if I did it much longer it would drive me bonkers whenever my tinnitus came back. I've had it since early childhood so I think I learned to tolerate it better, I can mostly ignore it these days. So I'd just say to other people, be careful with those apps/sounds, you might get dependent on it VERY quickly.

Oh yeah, I’d give anything to hear the real silence again. Someone sent this to me as an FDA treatment that’s new, but I haven’t tried it: https://www.lenire.com/what-is-lenire/ https://www.lenire.com/what-is-lenire/ I’m hoping for some “silence tourism” once in awhile!

  Tinnitus hub gives some reasons to be skeptical. https://www.tinnitushub.com/heres-why-the-jurys-still-out-on-lenire/ https://www.tinnitushub.com/heres-why-the-jurys-still-out-on... I suspect we don't know the cause of tinnitus in many/most cases - even when we think we do. I think that makes finding cures a lot more difficult.

    Yeah. It sounds like I could just lick a 9v battery once in awhile and get most of the “benefits” haha. But hey, I’ll give anything a shot at this point!

I was like that when it was a lower volume. When it got louder persistent sound became important (I use rainfall over speakers). The day it suddenly became shopvac-in-the-room loud, I had to use earbuds and a noise app (beltone's underwater blurbing) at mid-volume to keep my sanity.
