I have had this for about 6-7 years. It started in my right ear with a high pitch sound and then the left ear followed. It sounds like Morse Code in the left ear. I also have substantial hearing loss which is getting worse in both ears due to tinnitus. Sodium & Caffeine make it worse. I notice it more when I am very still and the house is very quiet. For the most part, my brain has tuned it out and I don't even notice it unless, I have had something like pizza (high sodium or too much caffeine) that ramps it up. I wear ear plugs when I sleep at night and that tunes it out....strange right? I have talked to people who have gotten hearing aids and they said they help with tinnitus tremendously. I hope these suggestions help. Bless You!
Anyone try pills or patches that are advertised to help tinnitus?
It often gets better or your brain gets used to it. Many people play nature sounds to mask it but I tried that overnight and it gave me vertigo. Nature sounds are on your phone. ENT was not helpful but some audiologists are.
