Some are better than others.
Find out which are best and what else you can do to get tinnitus relief, in this article.
What Are Maskers? So what are maskers anyway? A mask is something that is used to hide something.
So a tinnitus masker is a type of sound that is used to block out the sound of tinnitus.
The idea is that if you can block out the tinnitus with something else.
Even though it is louder than the tinnitus, it is a much more tolerable sound.
Leave The TV On Some people leave the television on to go to sleep.
When you watch the TV, you normally don't notice your tinnitus.
I fall asleep on the couch all the time and my tinnitus never bothers me.
Special Pillow Some people do the same trick but listen to the radio instead.
The same principle applies.
But others go even further and invest in a special pillow that contains a small speaker.
So you can go to sleep with a quiet radio right next to your ear.
Custom Sounds Some people don't like listening to the sound of TV or radio and prefer something a bit more soothing.
For example, you can get a CD or MP3 of what sounds like "static".
It is just a general hum that is easy to fall asleep too.
Others prefer something more natural like the sound of waves or the wind.
