Chuck and all the rest of you guys who have posted about ringing, I just saw your post on this thread. I suffer from the same malady. Being around a lot of loud noise in my later teen years (drums in a rock and roll band) resulted in significant hearing issues characterized by constant ringing. Over the years, my hearing has gotten noticeably worse - to the point where last week, I was fitted for hearing aids. I am wearing a loaner pair right now that will be evaluated over the next month or so to determine the optimal parameters for the pair I will actually buy.Mostly the ringing in my ears. sometimes it’s deafening.

Last week when I put them on for the first time in the doctor's office, I was amazed at how much better I could hear. It was one step removed from miraculous, actually. And one of the side benefits - at least in my case - was a near elimination of the ringing. I've since come to recognize, it's not 'gone' but significantly camouflaged by the improvement in proper hearing. I hear it right now because I'm thinking about it; but in my normal routine, I am less inclined to be aware of it. The doctor tells me that experience is 'common' but doesn't happen in every instance.
You guys might want to think about a visit to a hearing specialist. Might not help at all. But then again, it might.
