Brilliant - sends me off to sleep
I listen to the ‘rainforest’ when I go to bed whilst reading then use the timer to automatically turn off after an hour. The combination of the birdsong and the rumbling thunder gives me enough alternative sounds to listen to whilst masking the noise in my head and ears. Although it doesn’t get rid of my tinnitus it allows me to cope as it ensures I get off to sleep peacefully and in a relaxed state. It is important for us tinnitus sufferers to get a lot of sleep and try to keep as relaxed and unstressed as possible so we can manage and train our brains to cope. Whist we cannot always affect events that occur during the day we can allow ourselves some space and peace at night. I listen to the sounds through a little Bluetooth speaker at a volume that allows me to pick up each noise but not so loud that it stops me hearing other sounds outside or in the house. Along with some deep breaths it helps me create an environment of peace and relaxation. Try it and see if it works for you…
