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

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

Holy crap, just tried it and it worked! Thank you! Mine has started to get bad the last year, and especially at night. Driving me CRAZY!

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

Our brains are very weird, but there's a lot of common weirdness. There's a pretty wide range of common 'weird dreams', for example driving from the backseat, mandatory test or you'll be ungraduated from high school where you haven't been in 10+ years, various flying/falling, the tetris effect, etc.
