That's great that you can ignore it. I'm not as fortunate :'(
Though I can sleep through it, so that's a blessing :)

Recovering from acoustic neuroma surgery can be overwhelming, but there’s a lot of support available. My ear cleaning staten island visit after treatment helped more than I expected — I didn’t realize how much buildup can distort balance and hearing. The clinic was gentle and used irrigation instead of scraping. It really improved my comfort and clarity on the good side. Keep up regular care and follow-ups. Small steps really help over time.

For me, it usually is more of a loud "seashell" sound but can become that emergency alert sound if I have been in a lot of noise. The seashell seems worse in quiet (and nights are quiet.) I have found that it helps to go to sleep with soft music as I have trained myself to focus on that more than the tinnitus. I use soft "headband" headphones so I don't have the bad-side-up problem and I set the music to go off automatically.

I am sorry to hear yours is so bad.
