I've got tinitus too, so there's the static and high-pitched screeching and ringing noises as well. I found it improved slightly when I started wearing hearing protection at work. I was taking sleeping pills for a while, I know that's not good for me. I just stoped taking them this week, knowing that if I'm going to get this whole mess figured out and get some treatment, there can't be ANYTHING foreign in my blood or my brain. This weekend I practically did nothing BUT sleep, and I ate a lot too. I don't know if it's becuase I just quit smoking or what. bleh.
