The Ringing Noise in Ear is Worst in a Silent Office, Here is My Masking Trick

My ringing noise in ear is loudest in a dead quiet office where there is nothing else to listen to.

Masking the ringing noise in ear at my desk is about comfort and focus, not treatment, and this is not medical advice, so see a professional for anything new or persistent. I keep a low pitch matched noise color running through one earbud at a volume just high enough to soften the ringing without blocking coworkers. Since mine is high, a touch of blue noise sits right on it, and the steadiness keeps me from fixating. The quiet room stops feeling like a spotlight on the ringing.

A quiet desk mask for comfort, not a cure.

I use an app called Mindael because I can dial in the exact noise color that matches my pitch and keep the volume low, with seamless looping so there is no gap during a meeting lull. Mindael also has lock screen controls so I can adjust it discreetly.

If a silent room makes yours louder, a soft desk mask can help you notice it less. Mindael is what I use, not medical advice. How do you manage it at work?
