Nothing. As close to silence as possible.

Tinnitus is the worst.

I can't do silence, my thoughts are too loud. Rain sounds work well for me.

...white noise drowns out the ringing in my ears and calms the voices in my head...

I always have a fan running in there summertime and it's too weird sleeping without it on the winter.

...at some level i secretly suspect that sleeping under omnipresent white noise has only made my tinnitus worse over time, but that could also be a natural consequence of my ears aging-out...

(could also come from driving a convertible at speed while blasting music on a three-hour commute every day, if i'm honest)
