I've never heard of ringing ears being a CH symptom. I'll assume you've been to a neuro and asked him. I'll bet some NSAIDs (like aspirin) can cause ringing ears. But maybe you have tinnitis. I'll bet shrooms wouldn't be any help, if anything they might make it worse. Shrooms tend to amplify and/or exaggerate sensations.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but no ringing here either.
Do you have high blood pressure???? I've heard of that before, but not very much.....
Hope you get some relief soon.

hope this helps Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) may sound like constant or intermittent ringing, buzzing, beating, humming, hissing, clicking, chirping, whistling, whooshing, a low roar or high squeal when there is no external source. Up to 50 million US citizens have experienced this phenomenon. Though annoying, it rarely is a symptom of a serious problem. The treatment is directly related to the cause.
Causes that can go away with treatment. See a qualified ear, nose and throat specialist to diagnose these causes and to get appropriate treatment.
Infection of the middle ear
Cardiovascular diseases, tumor,
Infection
Toxic reaction to aspirin, quinine, Streptomycin, Salicylites, long term use of antibiotics and anti- inflammatory drugs
Excessive smoking or drinking
Allergies
Dental diseases
Buildup of wax
Interference with blood vessel flow
Causes that do not go away
Damage to the inner ear from exposure to loud noise,
Hole in the ear drum
Age related hearing loss, usually after age 60.
Dealing with long term ringing in the ears
If there is no cure, it is possible, at least, to reduce the irritation, or prevent intensifying ringing by
Biofeedback training to ignore the sounds
Habituation Therapy (This can take up to two years.)
Avoiding irritants such as loud noise, nicotine, caffeine, aspirin, tonic water, salt
Masking the noise with other sounds in the environment. e.g. music
Reducing stress and depression naturally or with medications.
Herbal therapies, acupuncture and hypnosis may help.
A hearing-aid like device that masks the sound
Improve your circulation through exercise
Get adequate rest to avoid fatigue
There are no FDA approved drugs to treat ringing in the ears. John
