I have improved. A lot of symptoms are coming from the brain or neck not the ear. Sometimes my pain goes all the way down my left side and my left arm gets shorter than the right. Triggers are noise, weather changes and a lot of mysteries.

I forgot to mention using topicals. Patches and creams etc. Capcaisin, lidocaine, Ben Gay, BioFreeze and massage. Have you tried PT?

There is hope. See an audiologist skilled in tinnitus. There may be retraining that will help you. I can't do those programs but have learned to accommodate the varying levels and kinds of tinnitus over time.
