I have been diagnosed with Tinnitus, but here is the very strange part, when I went in to the doctors office I got a standard hearing test, and I have normal hearing with a variation of -5db on low sounds and 0db on high ptich sounds, well he says he doesnt know the cause other than hearing damage but my hearing is normal? The Tinnitus I have is constant ringing of a high pitch noise that never stops not very loud but bothersome when I get tired and I get a headache, or I'm in a quiet environment. But I dont have excessive wax in my ear, well I did but I cleaned out my ear with the special ear suringe. I dont have any infections in the ear. So I'm completely confused at whats wrong. The only problem I can find in my current health is my cholestorol is at a staggering 212, and I have a blood pressure of 120/88 and a low B-12. I also have above normal red blood cell count. Can anyone advise me to what might be the problem, I know that circulation of the blood could cause tinnitus and I am starting to excerise but could it really be that simple as to just blood issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated

cyphin6,
Did you go to an ENT or your general practicioner? Also have you ever been to an allergist?
I have great hearing but periodically, with weather shifts, temperature changes... fluid in my ears (due to allergies) seems to cause me some issues. I also hear transformers in every electrical device that has one... Walking through the electronic departments in Sears and other stores cana cause me extreme pain. If you haven't seen an ENT, GO. Then see if they recommend an allergist.
Best wishes and luck to you.
