Caffine certainly aggravates mine as does alchol but I am to addicted too both to quit. And I don't think GOD has anything to do with it; nice try though. As others have suggested you should see an ENT and have it checked out. Sometimes simply cleaning out your ears with a peroxide and water solution will help.
I've had a constant low level tinnitus since I had a headphone experience where I had married music I loved to some pot which I apparently loved even more. The following morning I found my volume on max and my ears on ringing.

Nothing has changed over the years except that I don't use pot. I don't consider it really serious. Just an irritation. I am fortunate enuf to be able to hear thru the ringing if I'm concentrating on something other than 'sound'. When listening to an audio system however I do need a smooth frequency - any upper frequency peakiness seems to aggrevate the ringing and drives me out of the room.

Coffee keeps me alive so I haven't tried to eliminate that habbit, besides the withdrawal pain is real. I'd hate to be seriously addicted to drugs and have to quit........
high freg hearing loss is a common cause of tinnitus--some people just have it without hearing loss --you should get it checked out by your M.D or ENT because there are some other causes that can be very serious--rich M.D.
tinnitus, 38 and I have it. Comes and goes. Me, stress brings it on. I drives me mad, especially when i'm trying to sleep. Do your research, lots of good info on this pain in the ass.
