I thought that time would have helped, or that over time the noise would have become less intrusive and bothersome.
I’ve done all that and none of it has really helped, so I often sit and think to myself well what am I meant to do or what the hell am I doing wrong then. I was told to just ignore it, use masking, take sleeping pills or try TRT, CBT and/or relaxation strategies. I’ve had all the testing done and my hearing and MRI were normal. I’ve struggled to get off to sleep most nights and some nights I just don’t get any sleep which eventually takes a toll on me physically. I've had a continual sound in my left ear for 4 years that sounds exactly like a tuning fork which a doctor uses.
