The only times I realize I have tinnitus is are right before I fall asleep, right when I wake up, and once a day for 20 minutes when I need to charge my headphones.
And I want to emphasize my tinnitus sounds like the screaming sun planet on Rick and Morty. It’s really bad. But thanks to this technique I only experience pain a few minutes per day. Good luck everyone.
For some of you suffering for tinnitus, if you came here looking for a hack, I can offer a small tinnitus hack that worked for me, and may work for you if you find a noise that "cuts" the tinnitus sound. This summarizes what worked for me:
I have bilateral tinnitus that sounds like people screaming in each ear at 15.5khz -- it's bad enough that w/o this hack, self-harm would seem like an attractive option, which was incentive enough to get creative and now I'm only in pain a few minutes/day.
I'm on mobile so please forgive the AI assisted rewrite of a different post I made on HN [1]:
I hope this message reaches those struggling with tinnitus. I understand the intensity of the condition – my own tinnitus was unbearable. But I've found an effective way to manage it, and I'd like to share the steps:
1. *Effective Sound Track*: First, use YouTube-dl to download a specific sound track from this link: [Sound Link](https://youtu.be/8indTo2ykPw?si=izyTOg4gYvnfsqZs). I found it incredibly effective for cutting out tinnitus. It’s worth trying different sound prints if this one doesn’t work for you. Others with tinnitus have also found it helpful. You might want to edit out the initial dialogue using Audacity.
2. *Special Headphones*: Buy waterproof bone conduction headphones that are specifically designed for MP3 playback. Here's the link to the ones I use: [Headphones Link](https://a.co/d/aqqhPm9).
3. *Usage*: Load the MP3 onto these headphones. It’s been a life-changer for me, allowing me to experience what a normal life feels like again. I only really notice my tinnitus briefly each day when I wake up, before I sleep, and when I charge the headphones.

The reason this works (for me) is because I hear the tinnitus "inside my head" and the bone conduction headphones similarly make the noise print sound as if it originates from "inside your head". It does not interfere with normal hearing and you quickly become accustomed to the noise print and forget you even have it on your head. This particular model is NOT bluetooth-- it is an appliance that has one function only, play the scrubber noise. This reduces anxiety of dings and beeps and untethers your from your phone, and most of you know anxiety makes it worse. You can also wear these in the bath and the shower.
I'm sure it
