I think I have tinnitus also ... not the high-pitch ringing I used to
hear once in a while but more like the sound of water running through
pipes. Strange part is I only notice it when I am at home. I have
excellent hearing, and hubby has not so good, so I can't ask him "what's
that noise?" :o) And, no, the water isn't running. If I'm thinking
about the noise and go outside, I still hear it so it is "real". I
wonder if there is background noise that makes it more noticeable at
times....

Yeah, from what I've read, that won't help.

Ah, fellow suffers. I think it's pretty common.

Google will turn up a lot of info but no cures.

I imagine the people with the steady tone suffer the most.
Since I recognized what is going on I've tried to tune out
the noise. Also trying to convince myself I like the sound.
I like the sound of real ones.

Limit the critters, by limiting what you bring from the
nursery/landscape centers.

After some landscape years ago; using large bark mulch, we unknowingly
brought the critters home.

Crickets, by my estimate was an invasion of thousands(?). Crickets all
over a block wall one night when the wife turned a patio light on. .
(sprayed them right then while I could see them).

One cricket in a bathroom bugs me more than a bunch outside.
