If you have trouble sleeping, I've found Pink Noise a great help (that's noise with equal energy per octave, instead of per frequency like White Noise).

I mostly have tinnitus above 16kHz (used to hear up to 20kHz as a youngster), but it's progressing with age and from time to time get the "ringing of death" of some cells dying (fortunately not all frequencies seem to add to the tinnitus).
