I first mentioned the high pitch ringing during my teens to my parents. Not sure when it started because it feels like I always had bilateral high pitch ringing. The sound is like the hearing test sounds. No pulsating. My ears also hurt often even though nothing is wrong with them. I had tubes forear infections as a 3 year old. At 5 I had a life threatening infection on my left side from the mumps that required surgery to drain it & hospitalization. I have TMJ. Not sure if either event caused my tinnitus but want to make clear I have had it forever & it is not caused by loud noises or medication. I have only had relief for a few seconds then it returns.
About 8 years ago it became much louder in my left ear and I have minor hearing loss. Words sound garbled even though I can hear the noise. Tired of asking someone to repeat the words clearer.
Anything that can stop it.
