I absolutely love going to the beach. White noise masks the tinnitus so well I can't even hear it when I self-test. It's the only time I truly get a break from the sizzling and squealing.

True, it isn't likely going to go away. My hearing aids help immensely, but mostly with tolerance, and not occurrence. It is pretty much background noise to me nowadays, although some things can really set it off. It doesn't drive me batty anymore, at least!
