Cecil and Charlie,

Have had the high pitched ringing, called tinnitus, for about 25 yrs.  Luckily, in my mid teens, wrassling with a McCollough chain saw - with a poor joke for a muffler - got me into the earplug habit some (if not while on tractors), and the Air Force flight line strengthened this later.
Otherwise, my hearing would never have survived the motorcyle shop years. Even now, I would NEVER go country dancing or a band concert without them.
  
Mine bride got me into taking a supplement called Lipo Flavanoid Plus and it seems to help. She had been using lipoflavanoids for her ringing for about 10 years and had good luck with it.  If it is going to work for you, you should probably be able to tell the difference within
within a few days. What's really weird is that every once in a long while, my ringing completely disappears for a short time before returning. Darn, this minor ail seems a reminder for me to return to the splendid centuries old prayer for geezers:
