The reason I asked was that some tinnitus early in the morning when you first wake up can be due to higher blood pressure in the inner ear causing a roaring sound. Some studies have shown that taking your blood pressure medicine before you go to bed somehow makes it more effective..............
10 years of Fender and Mesa Boogie amps turned to 11 has left me with ringing ears.
From the article:
“tinnitus treatment mostly delivered through the use of a chip, software and large headphones. The chip sends a quiet and pre-programmed sound to the headphones, changing the channels sound takes to reach the brain”
Just hope the chips are not programmed with subliminal liberal suggestions....
I know the feeling, have had it for yrs. myself.

Hmmm you are awfully young to be having any health problems! I am in the same boat LMAO same age and now the way I know I need to see a Dr is if it don’t hurt something is wrong.
One thing I would ask is if you are a big salt user’ if you are cut back or cut it out completely. This helped my ringing ears didnt stop it but it is nowhere as bad as it was!
I am now 68 as I type in silence my ears are just screaming, "Thank you for your service" is the constant statement the squealing is saying
Bfl
If its not already been a sci-fi movie plot, it will be.
In the past 20 years, I heard silence for about 60 seconds once in a dentist’s chair, after he had put anesthetic into my jaw near the left ear. (My tinnitus was only on the left side then.) I thought I had discovered a cure! But my dentist said that permanently damaging the nerve would not be a very good idea.
Look at it this way, you are still here. The guy who was 3000 feet away is not...............
I’m 59 and have had this for the past 20 or 25 years. It is not real bad, but some days it just bugs me. I remember being in the fields driving a tractor without a muffler. We had all right hand plows, so our left ear was always exposed to the engine and muffler noise.
I also had a cousin shoot his shotgun at some doves just over my left ear after I had taken out my ear plugs. That was when I really started noticing the tinnitus. I guess that was about 18 years ago.
Thanks!

There... Equalized the letter sizes a bit for you...'-)
Ping.
Dick Cheney is your cousin?......................
Sucks to be Glenn.
For those of us who have this problem ... imagine just 10 minutes of silence! Boy would I love to get my hands on this thing ... even for 10 minutes!
I have had this pretty much my entire life (also have Meniere’s which is destroying my hearing, sadly)—ANY relief from the ‘phone ringing’ and buzzing and katydid noises would be a great relief...wish it were more permanent results *now* but I would take any help I could get!
IIRC, William Shatner had/has a very bad case of this and when he interviewed Rush Limbaugh about hearing issues, he mentioned there were times he literally was going insane with the sounds. People who don’t suffer from this cannot imagine how aggravating/annoying/sometimes painful this condition is! :-(
