Question: Any cure or remedy for tinnitus (ringing in the ears)?

Have been suffering for >10 years. ENT specialist had diagnosed as 'irreversible ear damage' due to job environment. Had tried acupuncture but no effect. Ringing sound of high and constant pitch 24/ 7. Especially loud at night when the surrounding is quiet. NO IDIOTIC ANSWERS, PLS

I suffer as well. I have/ had sensitive ears. I had been to like 50 rock concerts and blared music from 1985 to 1995. I started wearing earplugs at concerts. then in a drunken stupor at a nine inch nails concert I removed my earplugs. my ears rang for six months. here is what I do. get a fan in your bedroom and run it constantly. it provides the white noise and drowns it out. or one of those wave machine things works well too. Alprazolam (xanax) can be used to treat it. However, if you have the gene for addition, alcoholic, drug problems. then be careful. try another ENT. acupuncture? good luck brotha.

There is no cure for tinnitus but many peple who have it severely find that 'white noise' played continuously in their ear helps to neutralise it. If you find it a real problem to tolerate I suggest you ask the ENT specialist about it.
