Tinnitus

I have tinnitus. What that is basically is a ringing in my right ear that is always there. It's really high. I only ever really sense it when it is really quiet. It's not too loud. Only sometimes it gets loud enough to actually bother me, but not often I guess. Still I'd like to get rid of it. It does bother me somewhat that it's always there. I wouldn't even worry about it if it was only sometimes but the fact that it's always there and will get worse with time bothers me a lot. Has anybody gotten rid of their tinnitus? Is it possible to treat or to prevent it from getting worse over time?
