Yep. Since I was a child, as long as I can remember. I just thought everyone heard that high pitch TV tube sound all the time. When cartoons would show "ringing in the ears" with a bell, I thought that's what they meant - that you heard an actual bell sound. I never knew that I was hearing "ringing" all the time. I used to play in bands and listen to live music a lot, so I got my hearing tested a few years ago. I have no damage at all. Surprisingly, I have better hearing for my age in some frequencies. The theory I subscribe to is that it's structural - like, a blood vessel that's just really close to I dunno, something in my ear that is constantly stimulating some sound sensing nerve or whatever. It's been constant, kind of annoying, but not worsening. I'd go nuts if put into a silent room. Fortunately, the world is not completely silent. But I prefer to sleep with white noise or a fan. Sometimes it just fades into the background, but if I think about it (like I am right now) it's really noticeable. I don't consider it a problem, but it would be nice to get rid of it.
