Tinnitus Linked to Hidden Undetected Auditory Nerve Damage – A Step Towards a Cure
A groundbreaking study by Mass Eye and Ear associates tinnitus with undetected auditory nerve damage, challenging previous beliefs and opening new paths for treatment through auditory nerve regeneration. A new study from Mass Eye and Ear investigators reveals that people who report tinnitus, whic

Yes please! My right ear is driving me nuts, it's never ending :'(
Same. I have to use a white noise generator on my computer when I sleep. I don't know what I would do if the power went out at night. Maybe I should look around online for a good backup option.
Look into other types of noises, too. Like brown, green and violet noise. I found that violet noise better cancelled out my tinnitus and green was more soothing at night
At the risk of sounding childish, I'm not sure brown noise will help me ..
To be honest, I'm only assuming that my noise generator is "white" noise. I couldn't be bothered to look for one at the time, so I wrote up a core for Retroarch that just sends random numbers to the sound callback.
Yeah I encountered the idea of color noise and then just found 10 hour long examples on newpipe
i've been using mynoise.net at the office following a recommendation from elsewhere (probably from an old reddit post). i like it, because it's easy to mix and change the audio, and what i need to help mask the monster in my head changes.
find a setting that works for you, donors to the site can get mp3 for offline use.
at home i use an mp3 on a loop, played by an old low-power (ulv chip, small ssd) laptop, its battery is its backup power. use vlc for the software, its original (and stripped-down) windows as the os, configured to not sleep when the lid is closed. it used to have linux but had issues with audio drivers. need to revisit that some day and set it up to boot off a usb flash drive instead for more 'portability' (use any pc).
i do not know if the mynoise web site works without internet once it's going--haven't tested that and haven't had the internet go out at the office to 'force' a 'test' on me.
Been dealing with both of mine for over 20 years... Damaged them at an Ozzfest back in high school. Today the sound is maddening! I'd be happy just for slight relief!
