I've had tinnitus for many years. It has nothing to do with my weight. I've learned to live with it. When it gets unbearable, I listen to rain sound videos on youtube to drown out the ringing.
Were you able to cure it yourself? Share how you did it.
After gaining ten pounds I noticed a ringing in my ears..
As I suspected, this high pitched sound is a response to pressure.
I'm on a diet to alleviate this annoying sound.
Mr. CSD has had this since he was a child and he has never in his entire 60+ years been over weight.
He has tried numerous things including Doctors and nothing has helped. He has learned to ignore it over the years unless it gets really bad then he just goes to bed.

I am 70 and I developed tinnitus when I was 12 while shooting on my HS rifle team. We had no acoustics back then and ear protectors were not even required. For the first 30 or 40 years I never gained any weight; my weight held steady at about 165.
By the way; it started intermittently and then became steady or I should say fairly steady. At 12, in 1960, there was not a lot of talk about tinnitus. It worried me originally, but after time; it became a familiar tune. There are times when I don't even think I hear it and other times when it drowns out the background. I cannot hear the conversation in crowded, noisy, places. But it is not the end of the world.
One thing that does give me joy is stopping at the stop light and having the young person pull up along side with their speakers blaring. I sit there and smile, while thinking to myself: You damn fool; you will be in my shoes for the rest of your life!
Tinnitus can lead to hearing loss. Yes, it's good to ignore.
Wrong. Tinnitus does not cause hearing loss. Most people who have tinnitus also have hearing loss but the hearing loss is not caused by the tinnitus.

Good luck with finding something that works. I've had it for 20+ years. As far as I know there is nothing to cure it. At least, I've had no luck with a cure. I've lost 20 lbs modified my diet and there was no change. The American Tinnitus Society is a good resource: https://www.ata.org/
I've managed to get used to it and it doesn't bother me much unless I focus on it.

I am almost 68, and have had it since at least my teens. I honestly don't remember when it started; but I grew up in a house in Florida with no AC, in the flight path of a very busy airport, jets were very loud in those days. I also went to many dances/ concerts and would sit/stand right next to the speakers and ears would ring for days. So I believe my hearing is somewhat damaged. I can hear fine, but the loud ringing/hissing is always there, sometimes better, sometimes worse, never gone.
Tinnitus can also be caused by issues in neck and spine and I have those as well. Weight does not affect it, I have been slim or normal weight the majority of my life. I have learned to mostly live with it, there really is no choice, unfortunately.
I'm curious - all of you that have tinitus - is your blood pressure normal or on the low side?
I've had tinnitus for 35 years, and my blood pressure has always been on the low side of normal.
Since I've used a blow dryer for all that time, I suspected that the noise might have caused tinnitus. But my ENT said no, it was merely a symptom of aging that often accompanies hearing loss. I still suspect the blow dryer, though.
I blow dry my hair only a few times a year and I developed it when I was in my 30's. I don't listen to loud music. I can't think of any loud noise I've been repeatedly exposed to. My blood pressure is on the low side. I'm not overweight. Sometimes it's hardly noticible and sometimes it's very loud. But it has never completely subsided in the last 20 years.
