Potential relief for tinnitus?

My mild case of tinnitus can go unnoticed mostly all year round but this and the last year have been bad due to whatever the hell it is that's going around during flu season that's not the flu or Covid. 

It settles into one's sinuses causing pressure, enough to make your ears pop every  time you swallow. It sounds like someone's snapping their finger in your inner ear. Try going to sleep with that going on. 

Anyway, all that pressure in the head and ears seems to amplify the tinnitus to really bothersome and irritating levels. I feel really sorry for anyone who experiences these types of symptoms all year round. All the doctor recommended was to use Flonase, Nasacort, or whatever works to relieve the pressure and it kinda works, but not to the extent I'd like. It just makes it bearable. 

All the best,

My ears ring like crazy.  Lately, it's been 24/7.  Too much stress and lack of sleep. 

I don't drink (I've already had my fair share) and I went cold turkey on caffeine. Had gawd awful caffeine withdrawals/headaches and it didn't help one bit. I'm back on caffeine.

My hearing is decent. I had it tested recently. The audiologist had no fix for tinnitus. 

I used to read the comments here about those who suffer from Tinnitus and always think how horrible that must be. About 6 months ago out of nowhere my left ear just developed a ring. Hasn't let up since...I've tried many things to no avail, but fortunately have learned how to cope. I admit I do take in a lot of caffeine and have wondered if that is the culprit. But truth be told I've always listened to my music loud, seen Iron Maiden 5 times without ear plugs (the last time at MSG my ears rang so loudly for 5 days-I didn't think I'd recover), so I get what I deserve I guess...Some days/periods are better, I don't know if it's because I don't think about it, but for the most part I have just resigned myself to this is how it's going to be...
