I developed tinnitus in my right ear about 10 years ago after a particularly bad bout of flu. It's never left. I used to be a 98G, so I think listening to high pitched static 8 hours a day played a roll. The first 6 months, I thought it would drive me nuts, but I've slowly adapted to it. It has gotten a little worse over the years. I remember it temporily getting worse after walking up to a hot range with no ear protection.

They say that there are maskers-white noise makers that help some types of tinnitus. If you turn on the faucet and the running water somewhat masks the sound, you're a decent candidate.

Mitch, if you start feeling anxious or depressed...try to relax and accept it-because no amount of stress will make it go away. I also recommend you go to your ENT to get it checked out. Who knows?
