I had also big hearing problems myself (ringing ears, often a cold, depression).
Strangely after seeing a specialist (otologist) who send me also directly to
a dietist (sorry im french I don't know the english word for it), it was related what I was eating...
to much salt,
to much coffee and alcohol.
And no outside impulse that's not related with music.
I stop using salt or way less on my food, no to less coffee and off the alcohol of already 5weeks.
And I can say... it works. I lost some weight, I have less ear fatique,
feel better in my body. I walk every day for minimal a hour between my
workschedule.
Walking is import for your ears and your body stability.
Found a new hobby to get new inspiration and impulse.
Can tell you that it sounds a bit hippie
flower power...
but it improved my life in a really good way.
