The problem is that the cause of tinnitus can be manifold. Can be ear damage but also stress, medicins, blood pressure etc. The (most difficult) issue is first to find out what the exact cause is and then try to find a solution. I suffered a few years ago also from tinnitus during a couple of months.(probably stress factor). It was really affecting my sleep and was almost bouncing with my head against the wall, i was mentally getting insane of it. In the end i was simply afraid to go to sleep. Then i decided to put music on from Billy Holiday. Well, somehow i could back sleep again. After a while my tinnitus dissappeared. I always wear now earplugs under my headset. It is just a awful thing to have for the rest of your life.
