followup info
I've been away for a bit. Thanks for all the comments so far. Edwin makes a good point and I need to clarify some facts regarding my personal situation.
I grew up on the northeast coast (US), and was an avid scuba diver. Most of my diving was in cold water. In some cases it was frigid, iced over quarries in Canada and the St. Lawrence river, the Atlantic near Glouchester Mass. (great lobster) and so on.
As a result, the bones in my ear canals have some malformations. Prolonged cold water exposure is known to do this and contributes to tinnitus.
I also was exposed to lots of high caliber gunfire as a youth and young adult. We didn't use much for protection in those days. Sometimes we'd just pop a shell casing or cigarette butt in our ears to deaden the sound.
I would have to say that my damages have root causes spanning back almost 50 years.
I've not noticed any change in my tinnitus after listening to binaural tones from various sources. Nor has it affected my body and mind's response to the tones, which has been positive.
Thanks again to all who have responded to this topic so far.
