You can also try this trick which works for me

You place the palms of your hands on the sides of your head or over your ears and then drum/tap your fingers on the back of your head. After about 10-15 seconds, it will stop the ringing.

Nice move! This reduced the high pitched noise, but I still sense a general overall ambient signal ready to increase.

I showed this trick to a guy at work and it was really funny and cool seeing how shocked he was that it worked

I always thought that this worked by providing a really loud noise that desensitizes you to the ringing. What do you think?
