Suffering from constant sound, like from ears but in head. Other disabilities

[TCBoomer]

The sound can be very low for a day but then comes back. Normally on the left side, but can go the right side too, at times. Have been told by a physical therapist this is probably coming from my chronic neck injury. Initially a technique of "Dry Needles" seemed to help, but not consistently.
I was in the Army for 14 years starting in 1967 and went to Vietnam in 1968. Was in the medical field assisting in surgeries.
Have been a Christian since 1976, including 2 years in Dallas Theological Seminary for 2 years starting in 1991.
Have many disabilities from my time in service, including "Agent Orange" exposure in Vietnam. That is responsible for "type 2 diabetes" and "Ischemic Heart disease."
A neck injury requiring a spinal fusion causes chronic pain especially through the left Ulnar Nerve down to the fingers and probably this causes my Tinnitus.
The VA rates me at 100% disabled. With all this, the chronic sounds are the most disabling many times causing sleepless nights.
I feel peace through my faith in Jesus. All these physical problems from this broken world do not alter my faith.
At 73 these ailments are more pronounced. Reaching out to the Church is part of my peace. Prayer from my extended Christian Family is appreciated.
