I've had it most of my life too, partially from damage to my ears when very young the doctors think. Sometimes it pulses and other times just rings, but it's pretty much constant 24/7. I did notice it more after I quit drinking, but basically because i wasn't drunk all the time I think.

What's helped me most with it is the same things that have helped with my anxiety. Mindfulness, meditation, relaxation techniques, etc.

And yes, the insomnia lasted for many weeks for me. I dont think I really started sleeping through the night fully until at least a few months into being sober. But again it was related to my anxiety as well, not just quitting drinking.
