I've had a high pitched whine/ringing 24/7 in my left ear for nearly 45 years. The right ear gets it intermittently. They already make medication for Tinnitus but it doesn't work for a lot of folks. They have treatment for the symptoms/perceptions but so far there just isn't much help for it. OT, back when I drank, I don't think I ever noticed my ringing diminish. But those days are a bit foggy if ya know what I mean. I didn't have a drinking problem. I had a stopping problem
