I can't sleep unless there is some back ground noise. I run an air filtration machine in the bedroom and that helps.
So far I have just ignored it most of the time. Once in awhile it gets the best of me and I go into hiding.
Of course I have hearing loss but then I'm 59 and everthing else is wearing out. Can't say I can blame the military service for this as I have had lots of jobs with loud noise and a lot of recreational shooting.
Pain and discomfort just reminds me I'm still alive.

The logic of drowning out noise with more noise seems, illogical - but it seems to work. It's not the noise; it’s the awareness of the noise. During the day, I rarely notice, but at night, like right now, it is blaring, sounds like 80 db almost.
Hey I wonder if Crown Royal would have positive affects, makes more sense than adding more noise to the noise – if I have to drown it, maybe I’ll drawn it with some Crown.
Hey one more thing Jon, the big super axe swooped through at work today, I ducked – it missed me.
