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
Some days it's a faint ring in my left ear, others it's like a blaring siren.
My constant companion. Where I go, he goes.
Started Lipo Flavonoid 2 weeks ago on doctors recommendation .
Will see if it helps
I grew up thinking that the ringing was literally the sounds of silence. I did not know I had tinnitus until I became an adult and heard people complaining about it.
Mine started in my left ear but now I have it in my right. The right is not as loud and I never hear it unless the frequencies are different. The frequencies change a lot.
Non physically induced (i.e., sound amplitude-caused) tinnitus can be corrected, imho.
I cured mine by accident - one of 60 impaired health symptoms I reversed as I recovered my health - validating information such as below:

Anyone reading this with such interest should find a competent Naturopath (MDs are worthless, unless you enjoy playing pharmaceutical bingo).
I went for an Everglades air boat ride in the mid-1960s.
Sat right next to the motor exhaust pipe.
I was a teenager and did not want people to think I was a wimp by covering my ears.
Bad decision - been listening to two high pitched whistling sounds 24-7-365 ever since.
Creative. 🙂 👍 🤣
“Anyone reading this with such interest should find a competent Naturopath (MDs are worthless, unless you enjoy playing pharmaceutical bingo)”.
“Pharmaceutical bingo” is a keeper. You nailed it very well.
My sister-in-law suffered from tinnitus real bad. She was granted a medical marijuana card for her anxiety, and after a week of regular use, her tinnitus was gone. YMMV
I’ve had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember. Mostly, I’m able to ignore it and live a normal life. Pity those who have it and cannot deal with it.
Mine sounds like cicadas. Always there but most of the time not noticed until you brought it up.
Got it too, hammer strikes and gunfire...
At least it’s not Peter, Paul and Mary!
Mine is in my right ear and it sounds like crickets...hundreds of them.
Sometimes, it manifests itself, not as a tone, but as a demonic tittering. That would be Hell, especially in the Middle Ages.
This rings so true. For me, it was being run over while bike riding at 15…by a member of Michigan’s highway safety people of all things. Kudos to my local sheriff for covering it up, too! I returned to high school after missing over a week (helmet saved my life!) to a girl I was hot for screaming, “Oh my God! You’re dead.”
Nope…that was 45 years ago, and I still savor the keening horror.
