[[People who have it say it can be excruciating.]]
It’s not painful- it’s just VERY annoying- the sound is hard to describe, I would say it’s like hitting a ball pean hammer on a bell mixed with a SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sound- constant, no let up- 24/7
Mine sounds like crickets constantly on a summer night. Even in winter..........................
Not painful to me either, just *very* annoying.
I have come to the point of having to watch peoples lips as they speak to figure out all the words.
It does make it hard to get to sleep some nights as well.
Strange the constant ringing didn’t start until I began having grand mal seizures at the age of 55.
Both my dads parents were deaf, so I just figured it was a genetic thing.
There may be some hope of relief. If not, I soldier on.
