Thanks for the post. I can certainly use and pass on the information to my audiologist.

Now if you will excuse me, I think I hear the phone ringing.

Seriously, tinnitus is a miserable disease to be inflicted with.

Word to the wise - turn down the volume and use ear protection around loud noises.

Ditto, Diver Dave. I could really use this treatment myself. Now, if they could just figure out what to do with the "floaters" in my eyes, I would be perfect again!

Good point. When I was a young man, I worked in a recording studio. I was constantly monitoring loud sounds, and it was made worse by cranking my Walkman back and forth from work. It got so bad, I had to cover my ears whenever the subway train would apply its breaks in the station.

About once a week, I still get a high pitched tone (close to sinusoidal) in either one of my ears that lasts about 5 seconds - fade in/fade out. I guess I'm lucky.

I've had this since Basic Training 35 years ago. Firing range accident, after which everyone was issued earplugs. Ron Reagan had it due as a result of a stage gun.

I've always wondered why we can do all kinds of plastic surgery, but not repair a scarred eardrum.
