I've had tinnitus on and off for over 50 years now. When I was in 1st grade I developed severe infections in the mastoid cavity of my right ear which required multiple surgeries and years of treatments and meds. It caused the hearing in my right ear to be about 30% of normal. The tinnitus has been around ever since, and absolutely NO remedy has EVER helped. I tried medical doctors's advice, meds, and lots of old wives tales (home remedies), and none of that BS did a darn thing to help. As far as I'm concerned all the remedies are nothing but "snake oil", which is an old term for BS cures that don't work. You will see a LOT of snake oil sold in TV commercials these days. My tinnitus is nearly always noticeable, but the loudness varies quite a bit from time to time. I also got an expensive pair of hearing aids about 10 years ago. I paid over $4,000 for those things and they did little more than annoy me. I quit wearing them after a few years and after I discovered that indeed they had weakened my already bad hearing. My hearing did recover a bit after I stopped wearing them though.
