I am 16 and developed tinnitus in both of my ears after having a painful double ear infection several years ago. The confusing part of my tinnitus is that I actually hear better than most people and I got close to perfect results after having a hearing test. What could be causing it? I am sure it is not anything deadly as I have had it for several years and it has not gotten worse at all, but what can I do to maybe make the ringing less severe? The only time I really notice it is while I am in bed and everything is completly quiet.

I’ve had a hearing test, allergy skin & blood tests done. All good. My primary doctor sent me to a specialist & in turn they send me to yet another & so on. No one can help me. I have a fullness & ringing in the ear that wont go away.

I've suffered from tinnitus for 10+ years now and the noises themselves have never been too much of a nuisance, but in recent months I've started to experience significant pain, soreness, itching, tingling, and throbbing in my ears, along with headaches, jaw pain and vertigo. I've also been a severe teeth-grinder and wear a protective mouthguard at night. Should I be worried? And should I even bother wasting money to see a ENT if they're basically just going to give me a hearing test and tell me to learn to live with it?
