I'm more worried about hearing voices.

As far as the tinnitus , I have a high pitched
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in my ears all the time , but rarely notice
it . Just kinda fades into the background noise . I blame it on too many
years of motorcycling without plugs and a few too many trips to the range
without hearing protection .

I've got the same thing, but I blame the fact that there isn't any place
to go (among "civilization") where you can get any PEACE AND QIET! Well,
the library, but that's when the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is most noticeable,
of course. Right now, I've got the Packers-Bears playoff on the TeeVee,
and probably too loud, but it's drowning out the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I wonder if I went 24/7 in total silence for awhile, if it would heal?

Another problem I have is that I have such minuscule ear canals that
normal earplugs hurt my ears.

Thanks,
