The Sound of Tinnitus

[rlmorel]

Hahaha…you must have remembered me complaining!

We’ll, it is true there are worse things…:)

[rlmorel]

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.

Semper Fi

From what I read, William Shatner’s tinnitus is so bad he said a couple of times he contemplated suicide.

I spent a few months on a four deuce at Pendelton, then did my 13 months up on the DMZ on an 8" self propelled howitzer.
Firebases C1, C2, Gio Linh, Cam lo and many stops in between that only had an elevation number.
Was always glad knowing the grunts were close by, day or night. Muchas gracias.

Welcome home and Semper Fi ...

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!!

[rlmorel]

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.
