Got ringing going on right now. When it's quiet, it's not quiet in my head. I have found that when going to sleep, I can listen to classical piano and don't have to deal with the crickets.

I'm an avid user of tinnitus masking tracks, scrubbers, and other online therapies for mine which also is permanent hearing loss in the left ear. But low and behold, good old frogs and crickets work like a charm. Turns out that one of the absolute finest reliefs for me is a regular chorus of frogs, crickets, katydids, and other sounds of the night. I think I need a prescription for long term camping and regular infusions of night fishing...but I'm an Engineer not a Doctor.

so... you're saying ..." Turns out that one of the absolute finest reliefs for me is a regular chorus of frogs, crickets, katydids, and other sounds of the night."... HELPS ... that's what I hear constantly. I need low volume... music only... to go to sleep using SIRIUS XM - ESCAPE. I have ALEXA stop it in two hours.

SGT (Join to see) - If I play soundtracks of those critters through headphones for a couple hours while I read, then my mind tends to "mistake" the tinnitus for the soundtrack and it just keeps on "playing" in my head after the headphones are off. Falling asleep and staying that way is a challenge for me anyway. I hear a mix of ringing and other very strange noises that are "abnormal" while the above mentioned are familiar and pleasant to me. Mixed with Shaman drumming I feel "centered" again...if that makes any sense at all. Relaxing is another kettle of fish entirely.
