I typically rely on keeping background noise going to drown out the tinnitus, but I’ve also found that earplugs can work. I don’t use them as much, but in my case, yeah, they’ll increase the volume of the tinnitus. In a weird way though, I’ve found that if that’s all you’re hearing then you can kind of get used to it and your mind starts to kind of drown out the noise. You can also meditate and focus on the tinnitus with the same effect, and there too the earplugs can help. I don’t tend to wear them for more than an hour or two since even the soft ear plugs seem to make my ear ache.
