any other things to know which could prevent my dream

I’ve suffered from tinnitus since May 11, 1996. I’ve had to accept the fact that these awful noises will never go away for the rest of my life, but what I can’t accept is the (sometimes intense) soreness, tingling, etc., in my ears as well as slight pains in my jaws and headaches which have all cropped up in recent years. Aspirin, Tylenol, etc., have little or no effect. Obviously tinnitus is not self-correcting which is why I haven’t noticed any improvement since I swore off headphones and loud music a couple of years ago (all of you I-Pod users out there, be warned).

A bit of background: I’m a 32 year-old male in excellent physical health with no history of head trauma or infectious disease (e.g. Meniere’s); my tinnitus was caused entirely by use of headphones. Amazingly, an ENT has tested me and told me that my hearing is still perfect despite the tinnitus. And, I don’t have any other tinnitus-related symptoms such as insomnia or vertigo.

Any suggestions?

I have had my ears professionally cleaned out, but it didn’t take care of the ringing. Are there any other things I can try?

Also, are there any documented remedies for tinnitus?

I started to get a pretty bad beeping noise in my ear about 4.5 months ago after attending a loud concert. The sound is much quieter now than it was when it first started, and I can usually only hear it when I’m in bed at night. What are the chances that it will fade away completely?

I have ringing in my left ear only. I have taken a product called Ring Stop which seemed to help for awhile but no longer does.

Can I have documented tinnitus and still be hired as a firefighter?

My audiologist tells me that there is no cure for tinnitus! How can anyone live horrible ringing noises in their ears? some treatment obtainable somewhere?

im going to school soon, and im scared that all the loud noises which make my ear vibrate(hyperacusis) could worsen my tinnitus. is this true or not, because i dont want to be worsening my tinnitus.

I’ve been informed by my doctor that I’ve got a Viral Ear infection (Not bacterial yet, so no damage to the ear drum or behind the drum, just an inflammation in the ear). The most disturbing sympton I’m getting is the constant ringing. Does the ringing clear up with the infection? If not, how much longer does it take for the ringing to subside?
