I had some surgery yesterday, and was given some pain killer (hydrocodone) for it. I don't like to take pain killers, so I didn't until about 10pm to try an get some sleep. Now I have tinnitus (ringing in the ears) as a result of some decades of target shooting, and other than having a dead spot at one narrow band of frequencies it isn't much of an issue.
Much to my surprise, about 30 minutes after I took hydrocodone I noticed that I was listening to the TV at a much lower level than I normally do. I hit the mute button and found that the tinnitus was almost entirely gone. Somehow I doubt that this will become a standard therapy, but I did take another about 5am, and the phenomenon was replicated.
I probably won't repeat the test, I'm feeling better today.
