Same here. Was in Artillery and I have it, nothing you can do about it so just add background noise.
ETA: Saw where you are a Veteran. You can get service connected for it, its 10%. Its presumptive if you were arty, tanks, grunt basically anything where you were around loud noise.

In all seriousness, the real answer is Lipoflavanoids. Please don't dismiss this advice as coming from a barley eating, tree hugger. I am neither. Not a fitness freak…..but Lipo-flavanoids work. Generally you have to take 4-6 a day for a couple weeks and then just 2 per day…..thank me later

tinnits remedies
Been thinking about acupuncture myself.
For me: moderate my alcohol intake, don't drive with the windows down (esp. my left ear); anytime I am recovering from a cold it is worse

Like others say, a fan helps. I have box fans all over the house.
Meditation helps. I've learned to tune it out. All the other remedies are useless. If you think too much about it, it gets worse.

What's worse is that I'm totally deaf in one ear, been that way for 10 years and the tinnitus, in that ear, is still there.

Make an appt with an audiologist
Do this, they'll run all kinds of tests (I had it done) and then you'll still have tinnitus.

if he was speaking of hearing loss, then, yes that could be true.... but tinnitus is absolutely curable....

I used lemon bioflavonoids and it helped a great deal. I can only detect it now if the room is dead silent.

This time of year is really bad. The cicadas seem to excentuate the problem. Antibiotics for a viral infection in my ear helped for about a year but now it's back with a vengence. I haven't explored any other remedies but I kind of like it. The frequency is such that it helps tune out my wife's nagging and I can use it for an excuse!! FML

Sorry, pal, my ENT begs to differ.

I've had it for as long as I can remember and I'm a full grown-up. Now add to it vertigo/Meniere's Disease, which kicked in about a decade ago. A wicked case of vertigo - which can slam me to the floor - will make you forget the tinnitus at least for a little while. I believe it's all about the fluid in your inner ear, and it can be off by just a tiny bit, and you're miserable. Get some coping mechanisms, reduce salt in your diet, maybe reduce caffeine too, and there are some exercises. Mostly, prepare to live with it.

What about the medicine that's always advertised on Jeopardy?

Both ears or one ear? Is it pulsatile(beats rhythmically)? Associated hearing loss?
Important questions that you may want to discuss with ENT first. If benign/idiopathic an audiologist can offer some treatment strategies but the efficacy is pretty poor.

Is all I hear. It can possibly go into full blown vertigo.
ETA Xanax. No shite that's what comes up. Xanax and anti vert. So in a word there ain't shite to do.

Mine sounds like a hearing test in both ears and the audiologist is keeping the button down. Constant high pitch. Never stops. I hear it all the time but have learned to live with it.

Wow. Was at a bar between an audiologist and a ENT. Multiple thoughts, suggestions, and opinions flew. Got better the more they drank. Both agreed that if it was due to hearing loss that a hearing aid would help. Opinions differed when hearing loss was absent. They also stated that lipoflavinoids does not work for everyone. The ENT mentioned trans tympanic injection. He also mentioned a ENT in Baton Rouge doing a clinical trial with injecting a different drug. Audiologist stated that the therapy works, but most patients are not compliant.
