I went to the ear Dr last year for the first time. I'm young-ish, 40 but worked as a mechanic for half of my life and suffer a weird form of tinnitus. It constantly sounds like I have a neighbor blaring music in their house with a reverberating bass line. When we first moved in this house I thought it was just that and walked up and down the street looking for the asshòle that was playing music that loud late at night. Took me forever to realize it was tinnitus. Dr says it's produced by the brain and not the ears. Recommended hearing aids that I can't afford and insurance doesn't cover.
