I am sorry about not being able to give you any advice, but I am sick and tired of hearing noise in my ear too..seems like the drs. if you go to more than one all tell you to take different medicines or give you different diagnosises. I think that sometimes they don't know anything, just have to suffer, I do not wear hearing aids yet, but will come to that probably.I know how you feel about the nose you think you will go crazy, keeps you from resting. I also have tmj, but that doesn't bother me like the ear noise, e-mail anytime and let e know if you have found any relief
