I hear this High pitched noise in my head 24/7, when a TV is on mute it intensifies it, and I have had it for years, but doctors tell me I have excellent hearing. Anyone know what this is?

I had tinnitus for a week and went to the doctor and it cleared up with antiobiotics and decongestants.You say your tinnitus has been around for years so I think this solution will not work for you.You did not say if it is more on one side or another since this can be caused by loud noises.I worked near an airport runway at a temp job and quit when the tinnitus started.My doctor did not use the word I learned about it myself,he was more concerned about banging the young office girls.

It's called Tinnitus. Here is the website about it: http://www.ata.org/
It is a constant ringing in the ears, often (not always) caused by either constant loud noise or one extremely loud noise (i.e. an explosion) at some point in your life. It does NOT mean you have bad hearing, though.
I have it myself. I believe it to be caused by the fact that I had a TV in my room when I was very young--my parents put it in there to help me sleep. TV, radio, and computer waves affect mine as well. I always have to have a little background noise or it goes crazy!
There is no cure for Tinnitus. I'm sorry, and I feel your pain!

Ringing in the ears is called tinnunitis, and it can occur after a head injury, if you have an ear infection, as an effect of anemia.... for many reasons. Pressure in your ears from clenching your jaw/grinding your teeth while you are asleep (or even awake) can cause tinnunitis, too.
Obviously you can't be diagnosed on the internet, but I thought giving you the term might help you research what it could be.

You may be losing a pitch or two. See a specialist, that would be maddening!

uhmm, kinda say in a loud voice: "Hello?" LOL
hi. try pinching your nose (mouth shut) and alternatively blow out, and suck in. not too hard. it'll kinda "set" your pressure sensors in your ear, and hopefully it'll help. get well soon..

Tinnitus perhaps?
