    Low Tones Getting Better But Horrible High-Pitched Tones Now

    Looks like you might need a sleep aid like Ambien temporarily anyway.....as much as I hate to see you add another drug. As for the sound masking....I doubt you can mask all of the frequencies. In my case the lower mid sound diverted my listening to it rather than trying to mask the same...

    Low Tones Getting Better But Horrible High-Pitched Tones Now

    This isn't a resolution, but possibly a workaround to get you some sleep. There's a great freebie program called Simply Noise... I had more high frequency clusters of noise and found a setting on the program called Brown Noise. Brown Noise is a warmer low mid with a little bass if you tweak it...

    Just a Warning About Ototoxic Drugs...

    Correction...each aggrenox has 1 25mg aspirin tablet in it. Usual dose is 2 each day. 50mg. Definite interaction between the dipyridimol and aspirin. Warnings to get off immediately if tinnitus developed in the literature. Dr. J. Serrenti ( phd. Music ...lol...)

    Just a Warning About Ototoxic Drugs...

    Here's the part most people don't understand about Aggrenox. The second element in the drug turns the 50 mg. Does not only inhibit the aggregation of platelets, but it enhances the action of the aspirin much more than the 50mg. Dose. It also is a vasodilation which has the modified aspirin...
