relaxed as others mention.
i imagined auditory experiences which mimic the "sound" of the tinnitus - that went well until gucking this weekend when my right ear got worse while on karaoke. fuck karaoke. it was so easy to go into. i have immense regrets
keeping cotton balls in ears while showering to reduce ear-ecsema if you have that.
eating drinking sleeping excercising well. maybe CBT helps rewiring the brain to not be bothered, the active ingredient exists in black cummin and oregano and basil in that amount & order too.
massages, skin-to-skin relaxation.
i hear & read ear candles are a dangerous fraud.
interesting paragraph from the wikipedia article on Dorsal Cochlear Nucles where tinnitus apparently "sits"
Somatosensory inputs inhibit type IV cell activity, possibly silencing their activity during head and pinna movements.^[6]^ While this has not been studied extensively, it may play an important role in sound source localization in elevation. A similar effect is seen in the visual system in an effect known as change blindness
imo meaning somatosensory inputs debuff spatial awareness however relieve that issue. now i wonder what somatosensory inputs are.
also the devices mentioned here: one decreasing the activity in braincells related to tinnitus, another increasing sensitivity to EVERY sound to idk why. somehow level tone sensitivity. three devices in total: one around neck/jaw, one on tongue, one around wrist.
apparently tongue is related to change in brain. so idk wag your tongue while downplaying tinnitus sounds/imagining pleasant sounds in the same sound range. like an orchestra or reciting a speech by someperson you enjoy to hear speaking. also CBT drops while doing this. not all CBT is healthy though: depends on the soil where the plant was grown being non-toxic. check out "Florida Orange" from KokuaVida on CosmoTrade. i met the lead scientist for that, she told me to always ask for the toxins analysis of oil.
