Once you have been diagnosed with Tinnitus, one of the first things that will happen is that you may be fitted with some type of device for your ears. This could be some amplification in one or both ears or it could be a more advanced device that also has some masking functionality to help "hide" your tinnitus sound in such a way that your mind doesn't hear it. It might be something else entirely depending on what your ENT or hearing aid provider feels is best for your particular situation.

That helps you during the day but what about at night. Most of the solutions that I am aware of can't be left in the ear at night. This means as soon as you go to bed, your old buddy Tinnitus will be back in full form. I didn't realize until after I was diagnosed with Tinnitus how long I had been compensating for it and dealing with it at night. I had been leaving the TV on when I turned in for the night and then turning it off when I woke up some time during the night. This isn't an option in all cases.

One of the first solutions I found was a device from a company called Sound+Sleep. Granted there are a whole host of companies out there that produce a device that plays a variety of sounds from white/pink noise to rain. The folks at Sound+Sleep take this to an entirely different level.
