I have tinnitus as well, but can usually ignore it. Though just a couple of days ago when I was trying to stay quiet and focused for a class assignment, I discovered that apparently I have 2 tones that are together. I always thought I just had one. Actually, as I listen, now I only hear 1. Maybe I have one that comes and goes? I'm not sure, but I just try to ignore them. Thankfully, since they are a steady sound, I can. It would be better if they weren't there, but they could be worse. Then again, they may cover small annoying sounds, so maybe it's not better if they weren't there.
