I spent several days near constantly with earplugs in for mine. The earplugs heightened the tinnitus at first and it was hell but after the first day or two it calmed down and after I stopped using the earplugs my tinnitus had eased.
Whether it was the rest on my ears physically improving it or desensitisation of the ringing it certainly helped. I suspect it was just desensitisation.
interesting! what earplugs?
Just a set of PPE earplugs for use with machinery.
okay
Noise earplugs are all the same. The cheap foam ones are best.
