I can't even stand to be in a silent room. Must have noise to mask the ringing in my ears.

I have it BAD. Mine started about a year ago.

Loud rock and roll as a youth.
Massive amounts of gunfire.
Screaming sows. anybody ever been in a barn of sows screaming for dinner. they say the decibal level is that of a jet.

It's the worst when you put your head on a pillow trying to go to sleep.

I hve to take melatonin EVERY night.

Tinnitus is usually caused from a high frequency hearing loss. I'm a PA for an ENT. The only real treatment for it is usually some type of hearing aid. Rebuilding the OCR (Ossicular chain) Malles, Stapes, Incus usually doesn't help much unless you've had some type of blunt trauma to the head or an acute or chronic process which could be, but not limited to otitis media, cholesteatoma, mastoiditis, etc.....Don't waste your money on hocus pocus cures because that's exactly what you'll be doing. Go get a baseline audiogram and see an ENT if the problems persist. There is no known cure for tinnitus.

PM me if you have any questions.

What is an ENT?

Wikipedia sucks half the time. Moderators there are becoming real ass holes.

"In many cases, however, no underlying physical cause can be identified."

You know it has something to do with ear sound sensing hairs.

**Buck** · 03-19-2012, 08:09 PM

My mother has this and I think I am starting to get it. I am hearing noises all the time and I'm starting to have a constant static noise sound in my ears.

I have to have my computer, tv, or a fan on at all times so there is some other noise I can listen to.

tecumseh · 03-19-2012, 08:14 PM

Amps n' drums n' screamin P.A.s. in my youth. Some hearing loss in my left ear. The buzzing doesn't bother me much.

That and driving a drag car for years, and one weekend with few boxes of ammo and a 22 mag pistol did me in. Flight duty in the NAVY didn't help much either.

Crickets

In winter.

I've been dry for 6 weeks. The crickets started chirping 3-4 weeks ago. They've been dormant for about 35 years.

**alnorth** · 03-19-2012, 09:48 PM

Had it my whole life, not sure where it came from, but it was first pointed out to me that I had a problem at a routine hearing screening in elementary school.

Fortunately, mine isn't too bad. Its a high ring, which I understand is a lot easier to ignore and a lot less annoying than buzzing or static. I'm fine in a fairly quiet room, I only really notice it in complete silence, and even then it doesn't bother me at all unless I'm trying to sleep. (I use a rain noisemaker)

I think you've got it all covered if you lived downstairs from Ozzy Osbourne for a while.
