Mine started with the attack to retake Hill 10 outside Tam Key Vietnam. Damn, that was the loudest cacophony I’ve ever heard in my life.

It seems to have gotten better over the years though.

I describe my tinnitus to others as sounding like being in a room with thousands of cicadas chirping away. It only stops when I sleep. Fortunately, I am able to ignore it most of the time.

Tinnitus remedies are not a 'one size fits all' thing. There are different types of Tinnitus, one of which is a break down of the myelin sheath in the nerves of the inner ear or brain.

Myelin sheath compromises result in tinnitus. 'Nerve traffic' escapes through openings in the nerve sheath and our ear picks up this noise as a frequency in the form of tinnitus.

I've had tinnitus since before I was a teen. The BEST way to beat tinnitus is TO IGNORE IT AND DON'T 'FOCUS' ON IT!

I’ve never met a veteran who didn’t have some hearing loss.

“If you’ve got ringing in the ears, the first thing you should do is see a psychiatrist,” he said. “She saved my life.”

Yeah, great. The government will claim that everybody with some form of tinnitus is somehow mentally unbalanced and no longer able to own guns.

Like most all right handed telephone workers, my tinnitus increased with my hearing loss in my left ear. Left handed workers lost their’s in the right ear...... decades of having test sets cradled to our ears.

hmm, when we retired they told us to not even bother trying to claim hearing loss as a disability

Everyone has stood on the street looking at a store window. You can see the people and stuff inside the store and also the reflection of the street scene behind you. You can focus on the street scene and the images inside the store fade into the background, or you can focus on the things inside the store and the street scene fades away.

Tinnitus is a lot like the scene in the store window...it’s about focus.

I put on a multitude of sound. Quiet sounds like crickets. Loud crickets.

I've had this for about 20 years and mostly manage to ignore it until someone mentions the condition or I read an article like this one.

If you have this condition, be sure to wear ear protection at the range! Seriously, a friend starting blasting away with his .357 one day before I got the muffs on and my tinnitus was worse for about a year after.

My tinnitus began one day when I suddenly began losing hearing in my right ear, coincidentally that's when I also began having migraines, thirty two years later the hearing loss has become acute, I still have migraines and the tinnitus varies from light background to screaming loud and in thirty years no physician has had a answer as to why. But the one thing for certain, I am not depressed, pissed off yes but not depressed.

I get tinnitus when I take a lot of aspirin.
