Mine is new, but I did many loud noisy things like you describe one of them was flying helicopters for several years, another was just being an 05B with a headset on and cranked up). I am sure that they all contribute, but like I said - this problem did not start until this summer - I left the military in 87.

After reviewing the aforemintioned web site - it doesn't seem to be something that anybody understands, nor can they fix, other than keeping your ambient noise level up higher than the "hissing" - so that you don't notice. That would have to be pretty loud noise for me, the sound of my Silverodo's engine & tires on the highway at 70 mph can't compete with it. This morning it sounds like a high pitched air leak, like you would heer from an 1/8th inch tube - just blowing. I did have an hour or two last night though that was quiet.

One thing that is new to me, at least in the last three years is blood pressure medicine too
