I just realized reading all these replies with people who also suffer from it does somehow help. It helps to worry less, because evidently there's not much that can be done medically (at least for now). So, thanks for this!
I had tinnitus for a while, and tried a few things that didn't work but this thomping technique I found on reddit one day stops it, and I just do it every couple of days and it disappears for a while. Not permanent but whenever it bothers me now I just do this thumping and it disappears in a few seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yDCox-qKbk
Weird. I tried it and didn't get much effect, but it's interesting to see so many positive comments on it. I'll try it some more over the next couple days.

Phase is a physical property of sound waves that cannot influence a signal originating from the brain or cochlea.
Yea, but he proposed shifting the phase of the physical signal (16.5khz) which supposedly matches the frequency of the imaginary signal. I still think it's unlikely to work.
In simpler terms: tinnitus does not have phase, at least not in the same way a sound wave does.
I’ve had tinnitus for about one year now. There is no permanent relief or treatment. Lots of snake oil. My hearing was tested by an Audiologist and my hearing was normal. The “sound” I observe is high pitched. Using a tone generator I matched it to around 16,500 Hz. Interestingly, if I play that tone I get temporary relief on the order of 2-10 minutes. As far as I understand my tinnitus is the result of something goi…

Have you tried playing that tone and shifting it's phase to cancel the imaginary signal?
Phase is a physical property of sound waves that cannot influence a signal originating from the brain or cochlea.
Funny enough lots of stereo widening magic relies on a physical property of sound not existing when it's in your head.
I'm a physician with lifelong bilateral tinnitus. Multiple pitches, quite loud, and acutely worse on the right side for the last 1.5 years or so (with some slight hearing loss). I've spent a lot of time on PubMed, but so far I've not found anything that helps mine, even partially or temporarily. I've consulted with close friends that have significant expertise is relevant fields, which has not been fruitful. Thankful…
There’s a Lenire provider where I live (Austin) and I’m on the fence about scheduling an appointment to get one.
