does anyone know what type of 'causes' besides noises over the years, there are for tinnitus.

Mine appeared about 10 years ago. Went to a ear specialist said nothing really to do about it but as you my hearing was excellent for my age. He asked me to describe what I was hearing while quite. I said it sounds like a billion pissed off cicadas in high pitched unison. He said yes tinnitus try sleeping with radio on. I remember getting a hefty Bill because back then insurance didn't cover much. I'm watching TV as I post and my friends are buzzing in the background.
