Hi Natalie.
What you are experiencing with the sound machine is typical and affects many people the same way. Remember, all your life up until now you've slept in a quiet room ok. Your brain and auditory system isn't used to the tinnitus that's the first thing. Introducing ....
I completely agree. I find easy to sleep with maskers on and audiobooks playing at same time, but I have been sleeping with background music on for many years too. With the masker sounds, I imagine I am living in the stove of a ship. What you said about pretending that you live in such and such place, works for me too.
Thanks for sharing your story. Are you better now? I hope so. Cheers
