ah what a question! Tinnitus has the ability to change and switch about just when you think you’ve got it licked!
On the website of Tinnitus UK is a section on masking so it might be an idea to read this, or read it again.
The ultimate goal is for you to habituate to it. Speaking personally, I only notice T if I’m unwell or if (just like now) I’m writing about it. After sixty years.
