My left ear is far worse than the right. Its so loud sometimes I figure other folls should be able to hear it. For the past several weeks my left has felt like it's stopped up. Like when flying an airplane but it won't ever pop or unstop. The ringing has been much worse since that stopped up feeling came on Exactly what I am experiencing

yall may have fluid in your ears Went down that road with my Dr and that is not it. Caffeine and salt cause fluid retention, which may or may not aggravate the ringing. I quit both (which sucks by the way) and saw no improvement. So now I limit my salt and caffeine just because I needed to do that anyway, but the ringing is here to stay.

I was speaking more to outback and left with the muffled sound in the ears. I know that does not cause tinnitus

I've lived with it for years; when I'm sick, it's really bad ... but what I've found that helps is to just always have a little bit of white noise going on ... it helps mask it but not completely eliminate it ... Yep. My left ear rings all the time. I’m good during the day working but at bedtime I like to have the fan running.

Dang, glad to know I'm not alone, however I would have never thought that so many just on this website experience it as I do. Mine is worse in the left ear also. I shoot left handed also. I wonder if that is why?

Ringing is about the same on both sides. Hearing loss is worse in the right. There was a time when I fired a lot of rounds every week with no hearing protection so that's got to be part of it (right handed). I'm also in a family who is very common to go deaf early so probably partly hereditary as well.
Doesn't really matter, once it's gone, it's gone. I can hear pretty good with the higher powered hearing aids but they drive me nuts and I don't wear them.
I can almost hear normal with the powered ear muffs and I do wear them.

The shooting may not be the reason one of mine is worse then. I can't think of anything else I've done to it. I despise loud music and exhaust pipes so never had much close proximity to either.

Have had it for at least 37 yrs since teens. With all of us having it who's to say it's not an actual noise going on?

Mine have been ringing for 45 years, sometimes it is worse than others. Mine have been ringing about that long too. And I don't believe I have noise damage. My dad had it really bad by the time I was a teenager, so I always used hearing protection when shooting a lot. But mine started ringing as a teenager and just get worse. My high frequency hearing is gone, but low frequency is fairly normal. I can still hear a turkey gobble, so I'm thankful for that. I believe my condition is inherited. Every man on both sides of my family has it.

I cant call mine ringing. Its more of a buzzing/cricket type noise. It's a wonder I hear as good as I do. I've never worn ear protection much. I did in military and do now at the range. Never have when hunting.

Oh yeah - I have had chronic ear infections since my mid 30s. That's going to be the other thing. The bad one will rupture every now and then and puss will run out before I realize it's badly infected.
I had tubes put in as an adult and one has fallen out (the right one). I should probably go see about that but my ENT and me had a falling out when he did the roto rooter (throat/nose) surgery for apnea.
Anybody know a good ent that's not Jebeles?
