How can I sleep well with constant loud tinnitus? White noise doesn’t work because the affected ear is deaf?

I’m 21 and for 5 years have had extremely loud constant tinnitus in my right ear due to Meniere’s Disease. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep for literally ages. I don’t hear very well out of my right ear, though my left ear is normal.

So I was wondering if maybe, possibly, it might be possible to have a better sleep without sleeping pills? and HOW ? :|

thanks so much

I occasionally get ringing in my ears and I take a low dose of asprin. Have you talked with your doctor about finding an alternative? Tried sleeping with the tv on low volume? Maybe a fan to get the rhythm going in your head. I dunno, I feel for you, I know when I have it temporarily it’s annoying, I couldn’t imagine all the time, but I would definitely try your doctor or even go to an ear, nose and throat specialist.

  1. try going to webmd.com and look up tinnitus. I remember reading stuff on there about it not too long ago.
