Got more detailed info on my tests today, with findings of no inner ear hair or nerve damage. The Tinnitus is not cause by anything to do with my the ear, U of Penn said. (They are more than pleased with my hearing tests). BUT said to still use the ETY-20 ear plugs to prevent hearing loss more than expected from age.

They said the Tinnitus I have is being cause by my brain, for any number of reasons. MRI to be done. Ha! They'll find nothing there!

There's Cognitive training for the dealing with the sound. I guess giving similar and even louder sounds of it, to then have the real tinnitus sounds seem like nothing compared to the artificial sounds.

I'm dealing with the sound better now. More masking sounds, and just letting the focus of Tinnitus not be part of my hearing things. (Ignore it as best as possible, and like most things, they'll go away). (Upper hand and lip and all that)

Get tested if you have it.
