Lu Zuckerman has beat me to it and with much more detail ... I had a great friend in the RAF who experienced tinnitus at the end of his career as a "tough guy" and it was horribly disabling for him and .. few seemed to understand the problem but..he found a solution in a "white noise" device which he got in Canada. Just as car manufacturers experiment with "noise counterbalancing noise" to make cars even quieter so the ear and hearing mechanism works in the same way - find the "white noise" machine with the right levels and tinnitus seems to disappear, so I am told
Hugs {{{{{{to all}}}}}}} who suffer from this distressing sound discorder and good luck in finding a solution
