Hello tinnitus, my old friend
You've come to sing to me again
I hear the sound of dentists drilling
Of sinks of water over-filling
And the sound is ringing in my brain
It will remain
It is the sound of tinnitus
In restless dreams, I hear the tone
I know I’ll never be alone
You’re always there when I wake up
You say we never will break up
When I lay down my head to sleep at night
After I turn out the light
I miss the sound of silence
They say they’re searching for a cure
Ten thousand doctors, maybe more
After many years of coping
Tell me, should I just stop hoping
That someday they’ll find a way to stop sounds I dread
When I am dead
I’ll hear the sound of silence
Other people do not know
Tinnitus like a cancer grows
I remember when you would annoy me
Now you're trying to destroy me.
Or maybe, you just want to be my friend
Should I pretend
To like the sound of tinnitus
How many times I’ve bowed and prayed
That God would make the noises fade
I must not let self-pity fill me
I know that this disease can’t kill me
It’s the cross I must bear, many others have to bear much worse
It is my curse
To hear the sound of tinnitus
Hahaha…you must have remembered me complaining!
We’ll, it is true there are worse things…:)
Did you write that? If so nicely done!
High quality Ginko brought my tinnitus down to low levels. Sugar and salt will aggravate it.

Good to know thanks
“Me too - USMC artillery in VN.”
Over 70% of my life a sound like a TV station “test pattern signal” has been constant companion. Occasionally “sumphin” causes the pitch of the “sound” to intensify for a brief period. Reckon in part it’s an occupational hazard for once being an 0341 mortar-man.
Your tag indicates service as an 0811, so I’ll say Thank You for perhaps having provided support on one occasion or the other. Weather being such in I-Corp, artillery was more readily available that CAS.

From what I read, William Shatner’s tinnitus is so bad he said a couple of times he contemplated suicide.
Yes I did. Thank you. It came to me last night (I couldn’t sleep) and I finished it this morning.
I’m not suicidal but I understand why someone would be.
#7 This is the insect that crawled into your ear and is slowly eating it’s way to the other ear to get out... : )
funny but I can actually give a visual of what mine sounds like!! picture 3 - 7/8s, a 4 - 5/8s and a few 7/16s wrenchs being dragged along like beer cans on a just married car. and then someone is on a switch turning the sound on and off sporadically!! that is what mine actually sounds like!! drives me nuts sometimes!!
I enjoyed commiserating!
I live with the sound of cicadas even in winter.
Yet, I can live with that, the tinkling jingly bells
were enough to drive me over the edge.
Mine is very metallic. In cold weather it’s miserable.
