I am 61 and have had tinnitus for over six years. I have tried everything, even went to the Univ. of VA hospital who had one of the best doctors in that field. They eventually recommended listening to"white noise" (static) every night and thought that after about a year or two the brain would cancel out both the ringing and the white noise. They said there was only a small percentage of success. Nothing has worked for me, not even the junk advertised on TV. Don't buy that stuff, it's a waste of money. There are tiny hairs inside the eardrum that when broken, will never repair themselves.
The honest truth is that there is no cure. We have to suffer.
Thanks...Bill
I was told that there are some medications that can help (not cure) tinnitus, but there are undesirable side effects. The doctor said that as long as I could get by, don�t take the medicine and just put up with it.
