Hang in there, Cherie, the ringing may decrease, but if not, the vast majority of people learn to ignore it and it does not negatively affect their lives. Mine is not too loud but it's constant, but I quickly learned to think of it as "my friendly neighborhood tinnitus" and then ignore it.

It's possible that your flight caused or aggravated some ear problem, but in general it's often hard for doctors, even specialists, to tell the cause of tinnitus and other ear problems. EAr? Brain? Both? Who knows?

HOpe it goes away or decreases soon for you.
