A white noise machine does not cure anything. Here is why. A Tinnitus masker or a white noise machine helps by distracting and concealing the Tinnitus sound. Doctors sometimes recommend using white noise as an auditory distraction for Tinnitus relief. It is better than the two other solutions they offer: drugs(link) and Tinnitus surgery(link). Not great choices. Tinnitus Drugs have side effects, surgery does not always go as planned and may not be a success. Doctors recommend white noise because it is a very safe and effective treatment for Tinnitus. You can’t hear your Tinnitus when you are listening to your white noise machine.
White noise is any sound that can mask background noise.
Here are some popular examples of digitally studio recorded stereo ear filling white noise.

Some can even play continuously for 5 hours (no track change click!) You can even purchase software to mix your own white noise. It is relaxing and helps you go to sleep but...
What about your partner? ...or your white noise machine?
Does her or she want to listen to your white noise machine or would rather you just cure your Tinnitus? This lucky person gets to feel firsthand what it is like to have constant noise in his or her head night after night. You could always use earphones.
My point is we do not enjoy Tinnitus. Why not just get rid of it instead of making those we love suffer as well. The initial cost is less than your quality white noise machine and your Tinnitus will start improving in no time.
