Get everything away from your ears. Loud music (esp. from headphones) causes lots of hearing loss. Better call an audiologist. If it's really tinnitus, it might not be reversible.

There are many treatments that are effective for tinnitus resulting from a particular cause, but none are effective in every case. Conversely, tinnitus may resolve without any treatment. Effective treatments include:
Objective tinnitus:
Gamma knife radiosurgery (glomus jugulare)[19]
Shielding of cochlea by teflon implant[20]
Botulinum toxin (palatal tremor)[21]
Propranolol and clonazepam (arterial anatomic variation)[22]
Subjective tinnitus:
Drugs and nutrients
Avoidance of caffeine, nicotine, salt[23] [24]
Avoidance of or consumption of alcohol[25]; [26]
Zinc supplementation (where serum zinc deficiency is present)[27][28][29]
Acamprosate [30]
Etidronate or sodium fluoride (otosclerosis)[31]
Lignocaine or anticonvulsants (usually in patients responsive to white noise masking)[32]
Carbemazepine[33]
Melatonin (especially for those with sleep disturbance)[34]
Sertraline [35]
Acupuncture [36]and Chinese herbal medicine [37]
Vitamin combinations (lipo-flavonoid)[1]
Chiropractic Adjustments to the spine and/or tmj.
Electrical stimulation
Transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation [38][39]
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation[40]
Direct stimulation of auditory cortex by implanted electrodes[41]
Surgery
Repair of perilymph fistula [42]
External sound
Tinnitus masking (white noise)
Tinnitus retraining therapy[43][44]
Auditive stimulation therapy (music therapy)[45]
Compensation for lost frequencies by use of a hearing aid.[2]
Ultrasonic bone-conduction external acoustic stimulation[46][47]
Avoidance of outside noise (exogenous tinnitus)[48]
Psychological
Cognitive behavior therapy[49]
Although there are no specific cures for tinnitus, anything that brings the person out of the "fight or flight" stress response helps symptoms recede over a period of time. Calming body-based therapies, counseling and psychotherapy help restore well-being, which in turn allows tinnitus to settle. Chronic tinnitus can be quite stressful psychologically, as it distracts the affected individual from mental tasks and interferes with sleep, particularly when there is no external sound. Additional steps in reducing the impact of tinnitus on adverse health consequences include: a review of medications that may have tinnitus as a side effect; a physical exam to reveal possible underlying health conditions that may aggravate tinnitus; receiving adequate rest each day; and seeking a physician's advice concerning a sleep aid to allow for a better sleep pattern.

well, I know about
http://ata.org
I don't know when I got mine. could have been a long time ago. I just accept it. Annoying thing there is, I know. I hear every sound. You just have to get use to it. Do things. distract yourself. I hear it 24/7. I got some hearing loss too. But yet, I was told it's not noise induced hearing loss. Oh, geeze thanks. And I just never finished it. I got annoyed spending the money to figure it out. I already know I have ringing in the ears, I don't need a doctor to tell me. I hear it. And I'm aware the masking hearing aids I need is going to cost a fortune because unfortunately, health insurance won't cover it. They don't see it as a health risk. I'm only 30.
Once you have tinnitus, it's usually for life. Welcome to the club.

My husband has tinnitus too, he sometimes get migraines from it.
Plus it makes him very cranky. We are going to try
LIPO-FLAVONOID he picked it up from Walgreen's. We saw a commercial for it and it's suppose to relieve the ringing. Has any one tried this and if so what do you think of it? We are really hoping it works.
