It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!

There’s no cure for tinnitus. Stopping chronic aspirin use can be the only reversible tinnitus I know off. Hearing aids can help. See an otolaryngologist and get an audio dram ASAP

Ringing in ears? I recently separated out of the military and when its all quiet i hear a sound that sounds like a tv is on but with no volume. I don't know if that makes sense but i guess the best way i can think of explaining it is the electronic waves
