I have tinnitus and hearings aids help a lot. I only have mild hearing loss (35db at high frequencies in my worse ear), but it matches the frequency of my tinnitus.
This sounds crazy, but try hearing aids. That worked for me. Initially I used the white noise masking feature of them, but switched to using just amplification. I stop noticing my tinnitus a few minutes after I put them in, and it starts again a few minutes after I take them out.
In the spirit of "there's a forum for everything," you can get help programming them yourself here:
This could actually be a feature and not a bug from a legal perspective. If they are blocking anyone who gives any indication that they are under 13 then it might be easier to show compliance with COPPA.
This has made me wonder at times if the best way to get my data delete from someplace is to talk to customer service and repeatedly say that I'm twelve.
That's definitely how it explicitly worked at one workplace; to the extent that account restrictions could form a poset, if we had evidence that some restriction might be required (e.g., from multiple forms of age evidence, do any of them indicate this might be a minor or some other protected class), that restriction would be applied.
