I was wondering if perhaps earbuds playing white noise might help to drown out the ticking. Does the ticking sound like a clock? Thinking of buying something to wear 24/7 for the next month to see if I can handle it.
This is my biggest fear! I am early in the replacement process but only 37 so mechanical is recommended and I'm certain the ticking will drive me insane. I already sleep with earplugs and an eye mask. Have you found anything to dull the noise?
