This subject has probably been discussed here before, but I am wondering if
   anybody has any suggestions. I find it difficult to fall asleep, I am not sure if
   it is the tinnitus or me thinking about the tinnitus (although I think it is the
   tinnitus). I usually have to take an over the counter sleep aid to fall asleep and
   when I wake up in the middle of the night, I take 1/2 an Ambien so I can fall back
   to sleep. I have a sound pillow that plays ocean music. This helps somewhat, but
   I always hear the ringing in my ears while trying to fall asleep.

   I would like to eliminate the use of pills to get a good nights sleep. Any suggestions?
