No, I’ve had this problem as far back as I can remember to at least early adulthood, I’m 58 now. I actually am not sure when it started. I just can never remember not having the problem, except during childhood. I did have a lot of ear infections as a child, which makes me wonder about that. And I also have calcification or hardening of that little hammer bone in my ear.

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..............

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’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.
