Yes, same here. I use the Simply Rain iOS app which is great. I would continue to use it even if my tinnitus would disappear.
My tinnitus started 10-days ago, after three-days of ear sensitivity whereby I wore earmuffs (likely made my brain hungry for those frequencies...) , following a few days of "just a little more volume" with my Mojo, those volume colored-marbles are as seductive as candy.
I have been to plenty of loud concerts over decades, only suffered temporary numbness; maybe I did not get the tinnitus then because a show has more dynamic range than when one feeds oneself a constant rock play playlist.... Just one person's theory. Also, direct headphone pressure is way different from loud music dissipated through distance.
My doctor told me to take an antihistamine, Allegra, no relief after three-days. I went to an ENT and audiologist, slight hearing loss in left ear; prednisone to reduce inflammation, nasal sorest Rx to reduce nasal inflammation ( unrelated), MRI on my head to ensure my latent Lyme has not revealed north and to rule out a brain tumor which can cause tinnitus symptoms.
After three days on the prednisone, the 9 kHz tone has sudbsided, and now I have the crickets ringing in my ears which is more tolerable.
I think (uneducated hypothesis) the key is to get rapid treatment so the brain does not permanently wire the missing frequency into your neurons to recreate the missing frequencies.
There is an online app that is free that provides some relief for an hour, I plan to download the files to my iPhone, much cheaper than Neuromonics
This guy's blog is terrific in my opinion.

Hi guys, new audiophile here. I'm worried that I won't be able to continue this hobby because of my tinnitus.
After listening to new akg k702 the passed couple of day my tinnitus has become extremely bad, I can actually hear it over my music without concentrating if I listen at reasonable levels. I have to turn the volume up high to drown it out.
My ears do feel fatigue and I know I've been carried away with enjoyment turning the volume up too high.
I got tinnitus after an accident years ago where I was hit by a car off my bike and landed on my face/neck. I'm now 21.
My question is, since my tinnitus wasn't caused by hearing damage but a physical injury as far as I know why is it worsened by headphone use?
After a few days rest will I be able to use headphones at lower volumes without it getting so bad?
Ive had ringing in my ears as long as i can remember, and im 17. It feels more so in my head than in my ears though. idk. I have been to a few concerts, fired some .22lr without earpro, and listened to eruption in the car a few times while at a kind of extreme volume level. (my dad used to be in the audio business so the car is decked out with stuff). but other than that im not sure what the cause of it is. id say maybe 80% percent of the time i dont notice it or just forget about it. i always sleep with a fan on at night so i cant hear it
