Earbuds + equalizer can also help with some forms of tinnitus: just filter out the band that triggers the nasty effects.



Unfortunately, tinnitus comes in many shapes and forms.

Acquired a tinnitus during my time working in an open-office spanning three floors with a waterfall in the center of it. So, I was quite motivated to look into the details. Oddly enough, while working for a leading hearing aid provider... for many it's a clicking, buzzing, hissing, or roaring. Not only a ringing at a specific set of frequencies.

To add to the solution provided above, listening to brown noise or drone helps me with a 'hissing' tinnitus.


Note the 'some'.


No, we have to be pedantic like reddit. Otherwise, how else will people know how smart we are?

I hope HN doesn't devolve into reddit, where "akshully" is more common than it needs to be.
