                        I developed tinnitus about five months ago.  Not sure what started it.  Recently was referred to a very well-noted ENT.  He told me I could use   "nature sound" therapy.  He also told me I could opt for a very expensive treatment called "masking devices".  You may have heard about it already.  They look like hearing aids that transmit a soft, low frequency, which in turn, retrains your brain to hear that sound only.  He said people report good results from this therapy.  They have to be worn about 1 to 2 years, and when they are taken off, the sound will be gone.  However, he couldn't guarantee this would happen for me.  They are about $1,500 per ear and insurance will probably not pay.  I have researched extensively and have found nothing promising.  I, too, use prayer.  Maybe one day ours will be answered.
