Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
As you mentioned, it is tinnitus and it can be very irritating.
In many persons, it can not be cured unfortunately .
In most persons it is related to age related hearing loss. The other causes are
(1)side effect of medications such as diuretics , aspirin, nsaids (ibuprofen, naproxen etc), there are also a lot of other medications that cause this problem
(2)meniere's disease- would be associated vertigo
(3)exposure to loud noises
(4)impacted wax in the ear or other foreign body
(5)eustachian tube dysfunction-this is the tube that connects the middle ear with the back of throat
(6)effusion (fluid) in the middle ear
(7)otosclerosis- stiffening of the bones in the ear
(8)head or neck injury
(9)diabetes or thyroid disease
(10)benign tumor
(11)environmental allergies
(12)some autoimmune diseases
You should consider visiting an ENT specialist for assessment.
This assessment may include: (1)presence of any additional symptoms such as vertigo, fullness in the ear, hearing loss, injury, pain, allergies,
(2)look at medications that may be contributing
(3)take a look in the ear- looking for fluid, excess wax, foreign body
(4)assess your hearing
(5)assessment for trauma
(6)nasal evaluation for allergies
(7)assessment of head and neck nerves
(8)blood tests
If there is a reversible cause such as wax , foreign body, effusion, allergies then treatment may help
If it is related to hearing loss or permanent damage from medication or other diseases then it may be reversible
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
