My ears ring all the time. I get crickets chirping, alternating loud and quiet volume, pulsing, rushing of air, always something. The worst times are then the ambient noise is silent. I keep a television on at night.

I find it's usually a bit worse after using a nose reduction headset. For long trips, I like the bose QC15 with the uflymic. It makes trips for comfortable, especially with a little music piped in, but the ringing is worse after the trips. The headset always has a bit of white noise, however, and that helps alleviate the ringing a little. It gets drowned out somewhat with slipstream and engine sounds, etc.

There's no cure for tinnitus. You won't get rid of it with vitamins or with hearing aids. If you've got it, you've got it.

Temporary symptoms will sometimes occur after exposure to a loud noise, trauma, a ruptured ear drum, lack of sleep, etc.

Your best bet is to avoid hearing loss and associated problems in the first place. Once its gone, its gone.
