mine was extremely bad in the right ear for weeks, so bad I couldn't sleep, even listening to music was difficult, but it's slowly died down and become easier to tone out. it's still worse than it usually had been, but it's not as shrill and "loud" (even though it's not really sound, you still get a louder or softer sensation)

i'm not sure what caused/causes it to flare up so bad, because i don't think my hearing's bad, but regardless, i'm more cautious about listening to my headphones too loud.

i've heard that Flare Calmer ear inserts have helped some people with tinnitus, even though it's not designed to. They're meant to improve sound quality of things you hear by focusing the sound a certain way, so the theory is that these things re-train your brain to hear tones differently, or something. i dunno, but they're pretty cheap if anyone wants a possible aid
