Electric shocks to the tongue can quiet chronic ringing ears

I'd pay that much if it was guaranteed to cure it forever (minus any new injury that could occur). Been having it since I was 24 with a massive ear infection, it's been hell some days.

Sorry about this. It is really shitty. Like you, I got a case of tinnitus via ear infection. In my case it was caused by a three-week-long infection.

However, I count myself massively lucky that it did slowly resolve over about 5 years, to the point where I’d now consider it nearly gone.

I know it’s easy to lose hope, and get really frustrated by it, but I hope you have good days coming to you. Good luck.

Mine also lasted multiple weeks, due to doctors not taking me seriously with how bad the pain was (even though I showed up at the ER @ 4 in the morning due to waking up from intense pain), and having seen three doctors, including one ENT, getting told it's a virus, bacteria, or fungus. Maybe I'll be as lucky as you and in 2 years it'll be all gone :)
