I have read many hours on the topic because when I got it I was determined to find out all about it.

I sincerely hope this helps.

Put the nature sounds in your ebook reader.

Here is a whole bunch of points I found
- it is related to and should be worse when panicking or even concentrating on it (flight or flight) so if you take a deep breath and smile and try to relax and be happy with it the volume of it will immediately decrease.
- concentrating on it will make it come back more.
- at night is the main problem, when sleeping your brain is searching for those upper register sounds. So at night listen to the nature sounds i gave the link for above all night. As the sounds are natural you will find they will not affect your ability to fall asleep, may even relax you and make you fall asleep faster.
- music however requires brain attention as not natural and will make the situation worse over time.
- usually caused by being annoyed by a loud sound/music and/or severe loss of those little hairs in your ear.
- believed to be related to the way the brain preserves newly made neural pathways. When you have a thought the most likely pathway (biggest) is strengthened first and the most, then the second loop then a 3rd loop. Your brain is constantly having a loop strengthened especially at night.
- when having tinnitus bad as the brain is searching for upper register sounds there is a pressure change due to it adjusting inside in your ear to hear those sounds so normal sounds will be louder to you and you will be more sensitive to sound.
- a group in Australia are leading the world in solving this. Basically their solution is to work out what the sound of your tinnitus is and then you walk around with their mp3 player in which has similar nature sounds (to my link above) and relaxing music. Music is normally the worst thing for tinnitus but it has a relaxing effect, new age music. They take out the bad effects of the music using their own software (using graphic equaliser - each slide for each frequency different for each person) after doing a hearing test with you and also determining the exact pitch of your tinnitus sound(s) (noise cancellation by exact opposite frequency wave). The end result is amazing (having tried it), total relaxation and no tinnitus. But it cost, then, $5,000. At this point my free solution lets me handle it fine.
- note need both ears to hear the nature sounds. Only one will make it worse. If too loud (because has not been adjusted to your hearing) will make it worse.
