I have had it since the late 60s, started from driving cleat tractors with no hearing protection and progressed when I was shooting all the time with no hearing protection and working in the farm shop with no hearing protection. I have the constant ringing in my hears. Some days it is louder than others and I have very low blood pressure. I like to have backround music going all the time or just have the TV on just so there is some type of white noise going. Been told by my doctor to live with it. Does not really bother me, just an annoyance that I live with.
