I'm 25 and I have it pretty bad already. I've taken very poor care of my ears and I regret it. My right ear rings loudly nonstop. Music, guns, impact wrenches and air compressors at work, a bitchy woman. Hell its a wonder I aint deaf. I wish I had some relief. Sometimes it's so bad I can't sleep. I killed a turkey last week and my right ear rang so bad it actually hurt my ear, not just rang. If y'all find something that helps please share it with me. If you can still hear well enough to turkey hunt, then be thankful you have what's left of your hearing. I couldn't hear a turkey gobble anymore if he flew down next to me. I do understand the frustration though. Often I think that I'd give up what is left of my hearing if they would just clip the nerves and stop all noise including the ringing. Doesn't work that way though.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Agree 100% jawbone. I wish deafness was silent. Unfortunately its anything but silent.

Non-stop for about the past 30 years. And, have have experiencing some high blood pressure issues the past couple of years. Started meds, but dropped too low, too quick. Been trying to modify diets. But, it seems that food makes it high! LOL While it is definitely worse when bp is up. It is incessant anyway....so, no big deal.
BTW, thanks for the reminder.......it will be hours before I can just 'let it go' and quit thinking about it. That is when it is really bad.....when it is on your mind!!! That's why the ringing turned up to 11 when I started reading this thread! Also as soon as I get set up and get still in the woods it seems to roar the loudest for a few minutes until I can tune it out

I have it constantly. My BP went up and it started. Got my BP under control, but the tinnitus never left. Drove me cray for a while, I got used to it. I don't notice it as much anymore unless I pay attention to it. This thread caused me to do that ... The specialist I saw said it was caused by hearing loss and the brain "turning" up the sensitivity on the frequency the ear(s) not did not hear well.

I tried the lipo flavenoids for months. Had zero effect on my tinnitus.

I've had a Fahrvergnugen blowing it's horn in my right ear for 10 years, sometimes it sounds like a dial tone changing tones. I had a specialist check me when it first started, he said it was noise induced hearing loss & nothing could be done. He said a hearing aid wouldn't help. I blame mine on the Hank Jr, Bob Seger & AC/DC 8 track tapes, bull dozers, jack hammers, all were very loud. I often wondered how a hearing aid would affect the ringing.

Had an old army vet tell me that putting your own urine in your ear would fix tinnitus. Being an old Army vet myself...I hope you didnt believe him

My BP is medicated down (10mg Bystolic) to 135/70 but I have ringing in both ears that comes and goes. Sometimes it's annoying as can be and other times it's not there or barely noticeable.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Never had high blood pressure but have had ringing for a couple of decades. No cure. Finally just got used to it.

Try some white noise. By finding a moderate noise that will conflict with the tinnitus, it will cancel a lot of it out. This can be something like a tape of a rainfall, a quite humm or things like this. There are white noise generators especially made for this problem. That being said, I got a lot of relief when I got my hearing aids. I think it is because i am able to hear a lot of normal sounds I had missed for years. I live with mine and it does not bother me so much. I try to protect my hearing now to save what I have. I found that it was not just the loud noises that effected my hearing. The crack of a 22 long rifle is about the worst I have found. I shot on a rifle team for years and that is when I started noticing it.

I failed a hearing exam at work two years ago in my left ear. I have it in that ear. Went to a specialist. She said if it stops you are dead. So there is that. She also mentioned that if it is bad enough they have implants that make noise in your ear. It's almost unnoticed but it distracts your brain from hearing the ringing. It's only for extreme cases but it's out there. She even said you could program your own music into the implant!!
Don't blame me for your bad decision-

Mine ring constantly and have since I was a teenager. My dad was really bad off and I have tried to protect mine, with no success. I can hear low pitched noise, but nothing high. . I'm convinced it's at least partially a genetic defect. Every man on both sides of my family has it.

Mine ring constantly from TMJ and clinching my jaws at night. I wear a mouthpiece, when I sleep, that helps some but it's mainly for pain reduction.
