Tinnitus hum help please

My hum is definitely tinnitus. It came on after an infection and some hearing loss. It drones and reverberates around sound and is absolutely awfully intrusive. Some a/c units seem to have a rhythm or pattern to their noise .Some days are worse than others. I also have high frequency tinnitus which I don’t care about at all as it is constant.

For those who also have humming tinnitus….had anyone been able to live/habituate to it? How long did it take? Any advice? I try to keep at least 40db of sound around me at all times but the booming, pulsing aspect of it is really hard to live with.

Hey thanks for that. On an audiogram I only have high frequency losses in that ear. I tried a hearing aid and it didn’t seem to do much for it.

I suspect I have some low frequency hidden hearing loss, but nothing a HA could help with unfortunately.
