> 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 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.
