Yes, I do. I sorry yours was that bad.

Unlike most, the white noise machines actually makes my tinnitus worse. Sometimes I treat it with pain reliever, as I wonder when it gets that bad if it isn't a start of a migraine. I also notice it when barometric pressure changes drastically.

The increase is also a sign of increased internal stress on my way to disassociation.

The other thing I sometimes try and seems to help is if I can do a mindless thing that still involves a level of concentration - coloring, sorting, moving my body. I guess - something that requires attention but not thinking type of concentration.
