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

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.
