I'm a physician with lifelong bilateral tinnitus. Multiple pitches, quite loud, and acutely worse on the right side for the last 1.5 years or so (with some slight hearing loss). I've spent a lot of time on PubMed, but so far I've not found anything that helps mine, even partially or temporarily. I've consulted with close friends that have significant expertise is relevant fields, which has not been fruitful. Thankful…
I had rapid onset tinnitus (8/10 volume, both ears) a week after sustaining a mild neck injury. After a couple weeks the right ear resolved itself, but the left ear remained at 4/10. In reading the literature about whiplash, it appears that upwards of 75% of people that have whiplash develop some form of tinnitus, hearing loss, and/or vertigo in the weeks or months following the injury.
I went to a CFMT-certified physical therapist who noticed that two of my vertebrae were counter-rotated and sheared in addition to my left first rib being elevated and stiff creating an almost thoracic-outlet syndrome type of issue.
My PT addressed the neck vertebrae issue and the elevated first rib over the course of a couple of sessions and my tinnitus dropped to a 0-1/10 in the left ear. If I'm careless when lifting weights it can cause the tinnitus to flare to a 2-3/10 for a couple of days.
Red wine also creates some sort of inflammation that causes my tinnitus to flare up, but alcohol (excessive alcohol in particular) in general causes that and it precedes my neck injury.

That's a very pleasant noise. It doesn't make my tinnitus go away though.
Be cautious with bupropion. It was the trigger for me and, in a nutshell, I needed several rounds of steroids just to reduce the perceived volume of the high-pitched tone. It eventually subsided on its own over a span of about two years. However, I had to be especially mindful of potential triggers during that time, for some reason I became notably more sensitive to factors like respiratory and skin allergies, poor neck posture, and loud noises.
Interestingly, speedy fans or the ANC from my QC35s seemed to exacerbate it. Yet, another pair of in-ears with adjustable ANC didn't have that adverse effect. SSRIs might have been beneficial as well. Addressing these factors progressively reduced the frequency of episodes, which eventually dwindled to once every two weeks, lasting for about 10 minutes and being barely noticeable.

How loudly are you supposed to listen to that sound? Like, at the threshold of hearing, or blasting it, or something in between? Thank you for sharing it, I am hopeful it helps me :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Could you elaborate on the sparkling drinks? Do you know of a rationale?
I think because of the level of sodium they contain

Nope. Had it since my earliest memories, no known trauma as a child.

Considering all of our hearing gets damaged slowly over the course of our lives, why does tinnitus only effect some people? I've had it for short periods of time after listening to loud live music, but hours later it just fades out to disappear. A musician once told me that it was the sound of your ear getting damaged and when you hear that you'll likely never hear those frequencies again. I'm not convinced it's an e…
