What?

I started getting severe tinnitus in my left ear about two years ago. About 10 years ago I was in a small private plane with a friend, and I adjusted my Bose noise-cancelling headset while he was on takeoff, and blew out my left ear.

The hearing eventually came back in my left ear, and was fine for years, but about two years ago I lost all high frequency hearing above 7K, and have a constant ringing in my ear.

The ringing has gotten worse now that we have adopted a Chihuahua puppy, and she just learned how to bark. It physically hurts my ear, so now I’ve taken to wearing a foam earplug in that ear.

I wish there was a cure for tinnitus, but I know that all of the ‘one simple tricks’ are snake oil.

We have a Chihuahua that is about 16 years old. She barks only when someone rings the doorbell....................

Even hearing aids that offer Tin. reduction are horrid.

My hearing was surgery damage. Inner Ear Perfusion for Meniere’s, Low Freq. but the Tin has been there for a long time, I have Meniere’s and that maybe part of it.

Hubby has High Freq Flight Deck hearing loss 20 yrs working the Flight Deck when at sea. VA covers his hearing aids. He turned down the Tin cancelling ones, the hiss white noise was so bad. Same for me.

LOL, after I saw this cartoon, I cannot help but grin every time I see one of those "one weird trick" clickbait thingies!
