Yeah i imagine it being like how your brain ignores your nose, it will get used to the tinnitus and block it out over time. Likewise, the more you focus on it the harder it'll be to ignore it
It’s unfortunately a negative feedback loop at first. Hearing it causes you to stress about it, which makes it seem worse. That’s why stuff like white noise helps at first. But ultimately you need be comfortable with when you do hear it, which is the really hard part to come to terms with.
