Is any one doing research to determine the origin of this annoying ailment several people are experiencing. I am 74 and recently began hearing the high pitched sounds, cicadas ! White sounds help, these sounds began after several stressful events happened in my life in December and January. Any advice would be helpful I went to Audiologist and my hearing is fine. I had an MRI and appears normal . I had a large meningeoma removed from the right paritial lobe in 2014 and have MRI yearly as a follow up. Any suggestions would be helpful

Tinnitus is a mystery, But researchers are working on it. Still no cure, but lots of discussion. I've attached a paper that recently appeared in 'The Hearing Journal', a publication for hearing healthcare professionals. It's about things you can do that might help prevent or minimize it.

There are several triggers that have been identified. In many cases, tinnitus, along with hearing loss, starts with frequent exposure to loud noise.

The website for the Hearing Healthcare Foundation may be helpful too.
