Anyone suffer from Tinnitus?

Within the last 3-4 years it's gotten bad. Constant ringing that seems to be exacerbated by drinking and stress.
Anything you have done that helps alleviate? Other than not drinking and not being stressed out (catch 22).

Google it. I watched a YouTube video about covering your ears and tapping the back of the head with a snap like motion. Don't remember the specifics
Edit:
I could be thinking about the wrong thing

Had it for several years. Couldn't tell if a phone had a dial tone in that ear because ringing was so bad.
Had several docs treat it with no benefit.
Could be coincidence, but was taking OTC allergy medicine like Alegra D or something and noticed it was better. Took that medicine continually for 3 weeks and ringing got better and then was gone. Has been all clear for 5 years now ( knocks on wood).

Yea I get it from time to time. It does suck.

I do. It got to a point where I thought I was going to go insane... but, after a couple of months I got used to it. Really nothing else to do for it.

I cannot remember a time in my life when my ears were not ringing. Occasionally the tone will change, but it never stops.

I think it's becoming more common because of all the earbuds.

Only in one ear, not so bad I cannot live with it.

I've had it for about 7-8 years now. It's so loud that I have to use a noise maker at night to fall asleep. Went to ENT but no help. It sucks but I just live with it. Just failed my first hearing test too.

I've been wanting to answer that phone as long as I can remember.

I've had tinnitus as long as I can remember. I think it is due to the many ear infections I had as an infant, but I can't be sure. I didn't even know I had it until I read about it, and then everything made sense. As is, my hearing is not so bad that I'll fail a test, but sometimes I'll miss some of the sounds of a word or something.
Since I've had it all my life, I'm used to it, and it's usually just background noise unless I pay attention to it. I mostly notice it in quiet rooms, but it also gets louder in loud places like bars or concerts, so I usually can't understand anyone in those places and may just end up miserable.
There is no official drug cure for it, but as some posters said, some methods or meds can work. I've also read some allergy meds and even a drug for treating alcoholism can improve or cure it.

"It's All Gone Pete Thong" is one of the greatest documentaries ever about tinnitus, cocaine, sluts, and life after accepting you are deaf.
Highly recommended.

I have it after serving 4 years in artillery. Only thing you can do to help and get your mind off it is constantly have other noise around you. I sleep with a small box fan. That helps a lot when the house is quiet. Pretty sure there is no cure for it either.
