That's like my secondary one. It's drowned out to some extent by the louder high pitched one. Fortunately it doesn't bother me indeed I'm not even aware of it most of the time unless I make a point of listening to it.

The higher pitch one has become more prevalent lately, hardest one to zone out of. Do you use any hearing aid, or use anything specific to remedy it?

I can imagine hell more pleasant than this... tbh i was hoping that this was urban myth that this is constant noise and i thought/assumed that people just exaggerate online with descriptions :/

You can manage it over time, just don't react to the noise, but it is hard. Especially falling asleep or concentrating on something if you are already agitated. No easy fix either, surgically replacing the cochlea is challenging, and the effects of it could be much worse.
