I know where you're coming from, I've had tinnitus for seventeen years after a head injury from a MVA, I've been told there is nothing that can be done to get rid of it, but you can mask the tinnitus by using sound machines or turning a t.v. on when going to bed. I try to never be in a totally quiet environment, because then it drives me nuts, its all I can hear. Good luck to you.
