It's to do with being a prog. They all have it. It's an affliction brought about by being such self-contradictory p!cks. makes your brain go BZZZzzzzz.....

Try common sense. Might not stop the BZZZzzzz but at least you will not have a ring in your ear AND be wrong.
It's all about your contradictory mental states catching up with you. Your brain (biology) can't cope with your mental disarray as a prog (spirit).

I am guessing, of course, and as a psychiatrist I advise you not to take this as professional advise but seek face to face medical help.

Excuse me, I've got to go - someone is buzzing at the door.

Well, at least they weren't ringing, I guess that's something.

He cant hear anything through the ringing. Apparently you can get hearing aids that filter it out but i guess his is too bad for that. Go see an audiologist if it continues. Otherwise (if its intermittent) its prolly nothing to worry about. Ignore soren. SOB

I've had it since my 20's...one too many heavy metal concerts.

At first I couldn't bear the thought of having to live with it forever, but now I don't even notice it unless I think about it.

Can't say it's brought me much joy. Just another one of those things in life to transcend.

****************

I've had it for a few years now, but it can't be that bad, because it's never really bothered me. I must have a very mild version of it.

I once saw a segment on one of the Current Affairs shows where there is an organisation which sends someone around to tinnitus sufferers with an injection that gives almost instant relief for 15 minutes or so.

In the segment, the woman who was given this injection looked ecstatically relieved as the ringing faded into blissful silence. The pleased look of enormous relief on her face was something to behold.

Every few weeks or so this nurse would come around to give her another 15 minutes or so of blissful silence.

Men on the moon ~ and yet they can't silence a simple thing like ringing in the ears, or migraine, or macular degeneration, alzheimer's, muscular dystrophy, etc etc. Incredible.

They say stress can be the cause of tinnitus.

So ..... where are you on the stress scale?

I've experienced it mildly a couple of times - but about a year ago - I woke up during the night and the room was spinning. I couldn't get my balance and was nauseous. I thought it was some sort of stroke, but it was my first experience with vertigo.

I went to hospital and the doctor used the Epley Manoeuvre on me. It was amazing and I felt well almost immediately. You can do it at home by yourself if it hits you suddenly.

As for me,

Overall you appear to be a little more stressed than most. See below for more information on how you compare to the rest of Australia*

sleep
59% of Australians also said that they have trouble sleeping
untidy
42% of Australians also felt more anxious when things around them where untidy
expenses
66% of Australians also found bills and expenses to cause stress

* Based on a nationally representative sample of 1,524 Australians aged 18+

Usually, but not always.

I've lived quietly all my life, and wore good ear-plugs in the workplace.

My head sings like a tree full of cicadas ~ always has, as far as I can remember.

Right now it's singing in High 'C'.

yes tinnitus is caused by many factors...noise damage being the most common....
I imagine it could drive you completely nuts but I have learned to ignore it...completely
