MemberSir,
I have a high-pitch ring along with mid-pitch ring in my ears. It seems stronger in my right; which had an ear drum burst around 6 or 7.. maybe eight years old. I also had my adenoid glands removed around that time due to ear infections. I did have problems in airplanes with pain and pressure changes, but I learned how to manually clear my ears in USAF training. With the military, I was often exposed to loud sounds and lots of sand. It was after that, I really noticed the ringing. I used to get wax build up in the spring to the point of being painful, but no issues since the mid-20s. I am now 43.
Two years ago, an audiologist checked me and provided trial hearing aids with an optional tinnitus therapy tone generator. It was awesome for me! I didn't use the tone much, but my ears felt "free". The hard part was removing them and returning them. Once removed, it felt like pressure and the tinnitus seemed so loud. I need bi-lateral aids, but I wasn't ready for the huge price. So I , very reluctantly, returned them.
I had to focus on my back issues. I have a congenital malformity of L4-L5; which grew fused. I then developed a neck problem and now have c5-c7 fused. Now, I am suffering nerve damage and bad discs, so I tend to take pain meds, such as Cymbalta, Lyrica, Ibuprofen, Soma, and Tramadol.
With all this going on, what do you recommend I do for my tinnitus?
