Here are a few that helped me, Eric:
1. I have a clock radio that will shut itself off after an hour. I set
that to the BBC and listen while I fall asleep. By turning my attention to
what they are saying I turn it away from my tinnitus. I'm usually sound
asleep long before the radio turns off.
2. If you can, surround yourself with intelligent sound but at a low level.
This will mask your tinnitus to some extent and otherwise distract you.
3. Get whatever assurance you need that you have classical tinnitus and it
isn't a symptom of something that is going to otherwise harm you.
4. Don't monitor your tinnitus. It will sound different from time-to-time
and just accept that. Trying to attribute the variations to diet, or some
exotic herb is a waste of time that will only prolong habituation.
