I have identified four different crickets that sing in my head.
I made friends with three of them so its not that bad.
LOL, you remembered I was a fellow sufferer!
Well, it has to work better than banging two spoons together, right? (from the stupid Internet ads!)

TINNITUS RING!...........................
This sounds interesting, as I am hearing impaired and have been to some degree for most of my life. I have almost zero hearing in my right ear, and the tinnitus does NOT help matters. I have hearing aids, but they are not a cure-all.
I’m willing to try something like this. It won’t fix my hearing, but toning down the tinnitus would definitely help.
I feel for you. My tinnitus is always there, sometimes it’s like a stuck car horn off in the distance. I often have 2 to 3 layers of sound going on at the same time.
Occasionally I will get a low frequency musical tone that is so intense that I can physically feel it. Thankfully, it doesn’t last long.
LOL
If you shine a laser light in one ear, you will see the light come out the other ear....
I think AOC must have tinnitus. I believe she had that done…
There are many causes of tinnitus. The Veterans Administration pays out the most in disability to tinnitus. If there was a cure for the nerve damage caused by loud noise and explosions they would be the ones find a “cure”.I think most of these treatments are snake oil or scheme to get research monies.
Tinnitus is a malady that can’t be directly proven. No one else hears your noises.
The US government also pays out humongous amounts for PTSD, which is also just in your head.
Because it’s just in your head, you can’t objectively prove anything does anything, except for what someone says themselves.
People experiencing such maladies are both the judge and the plaintive on the problem. The US government is on the other side, guilty, until proven innocent.
Now, you tell me what is likely to happen with anything that cures someone of something only in their head, when they also lose their disability.
I’m not saying most don’t have tinnitus, but saying US government payouts proves it, is crazy.
Aides?
Like Jared?
Actions from possible tinnitus or PTSD are not measuring tinnitus or PTSD.
Again, payouts are not proof of either.
They are all just in your head, period.
Yet the article doesn’t mention chronic exposure to loud noises as a cause! It says “Its known causes can range from a buildup of earwax and insufficient peripheral irrigation in the inner ear to brain damage and bruxism.”
I exposed myself to lots of loud noise over several years when I was young and that triggered it for me. It wasn’t as constant as what you were exposed to, though.
Pycnogenol? Hmmm. Thanks.
Think the component was called the 'flyback'. Really a HV transformer.
That's me too. Have learned to ignore it but would love to get rid of it .
I’m using a program on my hearing aids that can eliminate tinnitus in a year for many people. We’ll see how it works.
My high pitched ringing segued to constant white noise over the decades.
Pentoxyfilline 400mg 3x daily + Vitamin K1 as MK-7
has worked well for me. It may also have improved my hearing slightly. I’ll find out if it has this next week.
