Had it for years - started with shooting as a kid, then compounded by Air Force not realizing they needed to provide some form of hearing protection on the flight line. Preflights when the aircraft next to you is running is murder on your ears. J85's, J79's, and the worst of all the HH53's T57 with the gear box have left me with permanent ringing. Roughly 65 years of getting used to it. If you were in the military, the VA gives out hearing aids like candy. White noise can do some cancellation, but there are days when nothing works. I have developed my ability to shut off my mind to it so I am not going crazy listening to it. Good luck to you .
