It would depend on the cause of the tinnitus and unfortunately. most is idiopathic. Other causes include hypertension, hypernatremia, aspirin overdose, trauma, otitis media and inner ear structural disturbances. Idiopathic means no known cause and there’s no treatment for that. Some have used white noise at night to aid in sleeping but idiopathic tinnitus can’t be cured. One learns to live with it. With the other types, treat the cause and the tinnitus is usually resolved. My suggestion is that you get referred to an ENT to determine the cause.

diagnosis yes, treatment, no. it is a multifactorial dysfunction, and the treatment phase is problematic and needs to be customized for the specific patients needs.

I’ve had it for awhile, and the only way i can sleep sometimes is to leave the TV on at night while i’m trying to go to sleep. I would see a specialist instead of asking people on Yahoo, just a suggestion.

I am 26 and I have had a very high pitched ringing in both ears since I was 16. I have been to many doctors and have yet to find any relief. I tried the Arches Tinnitus Formulas…worthless waste of money if you ask me. I am debating on trying a supplement from T-Gone Remedies but I’m not sure yet. I think my ringing is caused from loud noises and sinus problems. I find that I have days that are worse than others and that the ringing is made worse by loud noises and cold weather. I know this really doesn’t answer your question but I just wanted you to know I am in the same boat . Good luck
