Make it stop!

For the past 9 mths or so I've been living with a horrible ringing in my ear. I've been to several doctors, had a hearing test, but no one could determine what is causing the ringing. After I'd suffered with this a while I learned that my sister was having the same problem. Though I wouldn't wish this ailment on my worse enemy...I was somewhat relieved to find out that she had it too. After a lot of investigating...on her part...I think we finally blamed it on age and pretty much stopped complaining. Every so often though, while talking on the phone, she may say "how's your ringing". My response is always, "its there" and she will say "so is mine". Recently she had her annual visit with her Doctor and mentioned the said ringing to get her thoughts. She called me afterwards and asked if I took a lot of Advil. Well as a matter of fact I do! So...she suggested, per her doctor, that I stop taking it for a couple of weeks and see if it stops. I decided to comply and stopped taking the Advil about 3 days ago. As I sit here and write this, the ringing is so loud I can hardly hear myself think. So...do I continue with this so called remedy and give it more time? Or, do I get back on the Advil wagon to prevent a potential headache? Hard to decide now with Carole of the Bells playing constantly in my ear. I don't know why I'm writing this..I imagine its to prevent me from throwing myself off the nearest bridge. Its driving me crazy!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!
