How many here have constant tinnitus?

[Angrboda]

I have tinnitus. I could mostly ignore it in the past, but I had some ear issues in 2020 and the ringing in my left ear has become more pronounced. Still, I don't notice it if there's background noise, and I have fans blowing constantly so the only time it's noticeable is at bedtime. The more troubling issue is that I have chronic itching in my left ear. The doctor gives my hydrocortisone for it, but the itching is deep in the ear canal and so I worry about damaging the eardrum when applying the cream. That, and the last tube they sent me is clearly intended to be used for rectal itching, and I feel weird applying butt creme to my ear.
