Some days it's a faint ring in my left ear, others it's like a blaring siren.
My constant companion. Where I go, he goes.
Started Lipo Flavonoid 2 weeks ago on doctors recommendation .
Will see if it helps
I grew up thinking that the ringing was literally the sounds of silence. I did not know I had tinnitus until I became an adult and heard people complaining about it.
Non physically induced (i.e., sound amplitude-caused) tinnitus can be corrected, imho.
I cured mine by accident - one of 60 impaired health symptoms I reversed as I recovered my health - validating information such as below:

Anyone reading this with such interest should find a competent Naturopath (MDs are worthless, unless you enjoy playing pharmaceutical bingo).
I went for an Everglades air boat ride in the mid-1960s.
Sat right next to the motor exhaust pipe.
I was a teenager and did not want people to think I was a wimp by covering my ears.
Bad decision - been listening to two high pitched whistling sounds 24-7-365 ever since.
Creative. 🙂 👍 🤣
My sister-in-law suffered from tinnitus real bad. She was granted a medical marijuana card for her anxiety, and after a week of regular use, her tinnitus was gone. YMMV
I’ve had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember. Mostly, I’m able to ignore it and live a normal life. Pity those who have it and cannot deal with it.
Mine sounds like cicadas. Always there but most of the time not noticed until you brought it up.
Got it too, hammer strikes and gunfire...
Sometimes, it manifests itself, not as a tone, but as a demonic tittering. That would be Hell, especially in the Middle Ages.
This rings so true. For me, it was being run over while bike riding at 15…by a member of Michigan’s highway safety people of all things. Kudos to my local sheriff for covering it up, too! I returned to high school after missing over a week (helmet saved my life!) to a girl I was hot for screaming, “Oh my God! You’re dead.”
Nope…that was 45 years ago, and I still savor the keening horror.
https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ For those of you who want to hear what some of us go through. Pick a tone and play it at about 7 or 8%. For me mine is in the 2200 to 2300 hz range. I know people hear different things with it but mine is just a steady higher tone.
So much yes.
Mine is a super high pitch jet engine noise...and I mean soooper high pitch. Usually faint and I just “listen around it”, but sometimes so loud its scary.
Hearing aids have reduced the volume of my tinnitus most of the time.
I’ve had it for about 40 years. I figure in the broad range of mental and physical disorders and diseases, tinnitus is pretty minor, and is mostly an annoyance.
I have a theory that tinnitus is caused (in some/most cases) by Mercury fillings. I am having mine removed in Nov and will keep you posted
