There are days I wish had that “hat”!
Tell me when they get something that works. Not experimental and maybe in six months we’ll know something.
I live with it and 90% of the time I forget its there, but unless and until they have a surgery or drug to make the ringing STOP, I'm fine as is.
It’s definitely stress and sinus related for me. I’m sure at some point there will be a treatment, and I’m considering acupuncture as an option. I always thought acupuncture was junk-science, but watching the scientific community’s behavior during COVID made me open to look at alternatives.

Unfortunately, I can’t prove the app is publicly available, which means it isn’t something that can immediately help anyone.
Thanks for the pings, though!
I just went thru an inflammation bout and mine are still pounding. 105mm cannon in the right ear. The hydraulic pump on the M-1 tank screaming in the left. FT-4A gas turbine roar at my 6 o’clock. I don’t get a migraine unless I can’t escape. If I can’t get away from the crazy and crawl in my hole for a while the frustration and anxiety start snowballing. It gets FUBAR after that.
Tinnitus is closely associated with intracranial idiopathic hypertension (IIH), or high pressure inside the skull. According to me the most common cause is inflammation emanating from the fourth ventricle. The inflammation is caused when undigested lumen travels via a porous vagus nerve from the small intestine. The initiator of this complex is ingestion of fructose and harmful proteins like wheat gluten.
The Battlefield Accupuncture at the VA works for my lower back and sciatic pain for about 6-10 days. All acupuncture works. Ive been recommending it for almost a decade.
Like everything else it won’t help the ringing directly, but they can touch on most of the things that cause it and settle it down some.
That must be why my ears ring when I eat grapes!
As a 26 year F-16 avionics mechanic, I suffer greatly from tinnitus.
It did not help I am a gun enthusiast and enjoy rock concerts.
But ear ringing is driving me nuts.
I have posted this before but there are some new readers.
Till we get the magic bullet these pressure points may provide some help for some! Put the heel of your hands in front of your ears but behind your jaw. Lace your hands back until both of your middle fingers meet at the base of your skull and top of your spine. Take your index fingers and tap them on the back of your middle fingers at the back of your head where your middle fingers meet, maybe 30 second or a minute. It will help reduce the ringing for a while for some people.
Also, press your thumbs between the ear and the jaw and your index fingers on the soft spot at the top of your skull. This might also help.
There may be other pressure points. Check the internet. Good luck!
I’ve had Tinnitus since 2014. It just came on slowly over a period of two weeks and is still with me. Went to an ENT and he said there nothing outwardly wrong and that time there was no cure. My girlfriend has it for very brief periods of time then it goes away. Go figure.
Read later.
Thank you. “The initiator of this complex is ingestion of fructose and harmful proteins like wheat gluten.” I shall research ‘wheat gluten.’ Tinnitus is so bad that all options of healing are welcome.
Long time 11B here. I’m with you on all points.
I have a bit of it too. Mostly from walking from my car, to the tower, with them dang tweets taxiing by. They were like a 6,000 pound dog whistle.
