I feel for you, I've had it for 20 odd years now thinking about it it is always there squealing away in the background about 5 years ago I had bacterial pneumonia and the medication killed the 8KHZ frequency so tinnitus kicked in even more to compensate for the loss, forcing me to get aids which have really helped as they are tuned to the loss.Mate, thank you but I have acute tinnitus and I'm 20% deaf do to 'industrial injuries'. When I get it bad it's very difficult to cope with. Thing is I'm unemployed and my body clock is out of sync. Been trying to eat well and only drink in moderation. Earlier I had 3 jcans of beer just to help me sleep. I'm happy enough having a couple of pints of water a night an I can't afford to become addicted to alcohol. I'm mentally shattered but I just can't nod off. I have a pair of herring aids I should be wearing but after only 2 days one of them broke, and I can't use one as it's an imbalance of sound. I don't have much problem sleeping most of the time. It's just the way the world is at the mo and personal things to worry about, well. I'll survive and try n' get back on an even keel. Stormy head seas at mo.
I'm lucky I seem to be able to switch off mentally from it but probably not as bad as yours
