By using white noise generated by an app on my mobile phone I had my tinnitus under control. In fact, there were many days that I wasn't aware of the whistling noise. That is until I was subjected to a very loud noise when my car alarm went off unexpectedly and continued for several minutes. The result was that the tinnitus returned louder than before and the white noise didn't seem to have the beneficial effect that it had previously had. I have recently resumed using white noise as a distraction to try to retrain my brain and overcome the irritating noise. I have had a hearing test appointment with an Audiologist at the Royal Free Hospital in Bath and it confirmed that my hearing is still above the level where aids are prescribed.
