i have tinniness, (ringing.. heck more a screech really in the ears), but from driving a rig for X number of years. and now thanks to pulling reefers i am losing parts of the spectrum.
i can not afford hearing aids. but sad hearing aids will do nothing to even soften the constant screeching. its louder than some people talk. now i keep having people asking me to talk softer.

but today first time with electronic shooting ear muffs. loved them. did little for the screeching. but i could hear better with them on. and the gun blasts were nothing.

maybe the tech will be a mix of hearing aids, blue tooth and sound mufflers for shooting by the time i can afford them.
