Tinnitus RING LIST! Ping!.........................
Just as long as they do not run that annoying radio commercial again.
Good news but it is of no use to people who have it due to diabetes.
Occasionally, it goes away for a while and things will be quiet, then suddenly turns on. There can be several frequencies at the same time. Sometimes I like using a keyboard to figure out which notes are being sustained.
Sometimes I think it might be a spiritual language I haven't learned yet or that I'm pulling in one of the God channels on my mental receiver, but my decoder is out of cal or my beat frequency oscillator isn't stable or is off harmonic.
Weird, this thing called life. I can't hear, but everything sure is loud all the time, even when it's quiet.
Lost most of my hearing to things that go “BANG!” I suppose I’m lucky. I’ve grown so accustomed to the chirps and whistles as I try to sleep at night, that it’s become like sleeping the in the jungle. I just wish those danged voices would stop telling me to clean and load the guns.
I know what tinnitus is, and I’ve figured this out myself. Tinnitus is caused by a breakdown in the myelin sheath that covers the nerves. As a result, ‘traffic’ going through the nerves leaks out through the sheath and it is the sound of this ‘traffic’ or impulses or frequencies that is picked up by the ear canal and is heard as a ringing sound or high-khz radio frequency sound that is called tinnitus. Simple as that.

I wanna double dose as soon as it’s on the market.
Animals have models?
I guess they do.
My tinnitus stems from a thunderous firefight outside Tam Ky, Vietnam, Tet ‘69. Now that you’ve mentioned it, there it is again. Thanks...I guess.
BOOKMARK!

Geez, my heart goes out to you folks. I can think of worse things, but not many.
Add me to the ping list. Got it in ‘91 after taking an accidental spill in the cold water of Puget Sound. Luckily while mine is constant, my mind seems to have isolated the constant buzzing into a compartment or something where it doesn’t upset/bother me. It constantly buzzes but I normally function in spite of it. Even when going to sleep it is driven into the background. Crazy.
But I’m going to try what was suggested in the previous posting.
This doesn’t sound very useful for those of us who already have it....
“...researchers conducted experiments that exposed mice to regulated amounts of noise, then identified those that had developed tinnitus...”

How did they know which ones of the mouses developed tinnitus?
LOL love that kitty....thanks for the ping

Mine, which I trace back to many hours of earphones and Morse Code ‘blasting’, ‘breaking’ my sinuses in the Submarine School free ascent, 105’ escape tank in New London, is normally always a steady carrier or squeal, sometimes so loud I swear people standing next to me should be able to hear it.
When Ciccado’s are ‘in season’ the constant droning chirp does nothing to stem my shriller tinnitus but it does provide a contrast...but you seemingly do get ‘used to’ it, as I will be sitting around and marvel at the quiet - then it starts up again, not knowing if it really stopped or had I ‘overcome’ it for a bit.
Annoying at the least, definitely uncomfortable.
However, I still ‘copy’ Morse Code through pitches in electric motors, so maybe the posters thought that this is a ‘message from beyond’ is not all that far off...
Copied Morse for many a year and it didn’t bother me a bit
