Remarkably, our experiences are _incredibly_ similar. Left ear, about a year, got all those tests done, specialists don't know other than "that's tinnitus for you - if I had a cure I'd be rich", 98% of the time I tune it out, I live in NYC, early thirties.

If you ever find something that works for you, please reply here @tombert, I'll do the same :)

Back at some point on HN, I saw https://generalfuzz.net/acrn/ - and it seems to be useful at least temporarily - in my and others' anecdata. FWIW.

Was going to post this too, I bookmarked it after seeing it on HN and I use it often. Yeah it seems to help me a bit. It seems handy just to identify tinnitus tones, when you have clear tones (I not not everyone with tinnitus does). I’d be interested to hear from anyone who’s had more than moderate success with ACRN.

I already posted another comment, but will mention here for GP that the ‘White Bursts’ noise generator on mynoise.net is where I’ve experience the strongest tinnitus reaction. I can audibly hear the tinnitus drop with every cycle, and after listening to it for a few minutes, my tinnitus is quieter for maybe a half hour, then it comes back later.
