After years on the range, (with no hearing protection) then shooting trap 6 nites a week. I developed a continuous low humming in the right ear.
About three years ago, I developed Meniere's disease. Along with the other symptoms associated with the disease, the low humming in my right ear turned inot a screaming jet like sound.
I and my ENT developed a regime to combat the symptoms of the Meniere's. It has also lessened the severity of the tinnitis. There are actually evenings when I can't hear it at all.
The procedure we used for the Meniere's involved using a diuretic to drain the fluids building up in the inner ear. Curbing the use of or stopping altogether Alchohol, Tobacco, Salt, Caffeine, Chocolate and certain sugars.
I havent had a flare up of Meniere's in over a year and a half. And, like Ive stated my tinnitis is almost bearable. Im sure this procedure wouldnt apply to those that have suffered damage to their eardrums. This would best be left up to a qualified professional. Im just stating what worked for me.
