That resonance you are talking about is from the newness. It will go away. You may still have the tinnitus but that feeling that it is ringing at certain frequencies goes away. I know this is hard at the beginning, but don't fixate on it that makes it worse.

I sometimes experience that ringing sound accompanied with some sort of pressure inside the ear for 5-10 seconds. It usually occurs once or twice a month, sometimes not at all (e.g. 2 times in January, none in Feb, 1 time this March). Is this normal or should I be worried?

That's a good question for an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist.  Could be nothing, could be nasal congestion, could be high blood pressure, could be TMJ, could be blockage in your carotid arteries.  Noise in the ear come from all sorts of strange places.   It's most likely nothing to worry about but why not ask someone who knows?

Excellent advice. Heath is not something to leave up to chance.

Interesting, thanks.  Looks like the app will be a notch filter at your tinnitus frequency.  They also offer what looks like a streaming service for €519/year!  Ouch.  Sennheiser is a partner.  Could be something to check out when the Android and iOS apps come out.  Hope they're cheaper.  The overall strategy is the same as Tinnitus Pro.

I'll ask around when I get my ear impressions. Hopefully it's nothing serious, since I seldom experience it and I try not to crank up the volume too much when listening to my IEMs. Thanks for the advice!

I think hereditary plays a big role.
 
I am 53 and have listened "LOUD" my whole life.  Granted it is always an hour or less which seems important.  (duration). I have worked at a large manufacturing company that worries about hearing protection (but I work in the office LMAO....) .  They do this test every other year and I always come out squeaky clean.  That's why I say its hereditary.  My hearing (knock, knock) seems totally still intact despite playing at loud volumes since back in those RUSH, Scorpion, Blue Oyster Cult days of the mid 1970's.
 
I always wondered if high frequencies (at same dB) were more harmful?  I think it is safe to say that THEY ARE, if I am questioning it.

AFAIK it is high frequencies that do the damage. It sounds like you are lucky. Take it from one who isn't. Take good care of your hearing. Damage is irreparable.

This is more of a PSA to everyone than a reply to OT- If you have ringing in only one ear (especially if you have vertiginous symptoms), it could be a sign of an acoustic neuroma, a tumor that grows on one of your cranial nerves. Unilateral tinnitus is definitely an indication for an MRI to evaluate for an acoustic neuroma. 
Regardless, it is a very good idea to mention tinnitus to your PCP for an audiology referral. The frequency hearing tests they do can sometimes be pathognomonic of certain diseases.

You have my sympathy MikuLover. Its horrible. Flu is bad enough on its own.
I hope when your flu goes that the Tinnitus settles down. Otherwise get it checked out maybe.

Getting it checked but the ENT appointment is set on 6th of april which is the earliest possible and the doctor won't give me some medicine to help with it or anything. well.... looks like I am going to have to suffer for a while..... Luckily school doesn't start till 16th of april for me. I just hope my reshelled tf10 don't come soon as I won't have the mood to listen to it and will most likely be only disappointed, I have never heard the tf10 though, the reshell is kinda of a gift from a awesome friend of my.
 
Anyways have anyone actually got rid of their tinnitus after operation on the eustachian tube??
 
By the way, krismusic what might have actually caused your tinnitus to get worse??
 
Listening to music with my er4s is just plain hell now, putting on the er4s without any music just amplifies the ***king sound even with music I can still hear it very clearly most likely due to my low volume ( started listening softly after hearing damage )

Damn. Sounds dreadful. I don't know what kicked mine off. I was told that I have hearing loss at 4Khz so I EQ'd 4klK up. It was after doing that but maybe coincidence.
I really hope that it settles down. I've got some K10's on the way. This could wreck listening to them. I was hoping that music would be a life long pleasure.
X a bazillion on Protect Your Hearing!
Wish you better.
