I got it in March 1982 due to an infection and I just woke up with it one morning. It is really bad. At this very moment as I type this it is extremely loud. As usual it is like a tea kettle is going off inches from my head as it has been every single second since the first week of March 1982. Unbelievable. I had a very rough time the first couple years trying to deal with it. I felt it must account for some suicides. I am glad people on this thread are not making fun of it.

I just Stumbled onto this Thread, and my Heart is with Everyone who Suffers from this Miserable Malady; I’ve had it Non-Stop Since 1993, when I Received a Head Injury that Somehow Caused Tinnitus in Both Ears. The High-Pitched, Angry Whistling is Worse in the Cooler Weather, so I’ve Got the Usual 6 Months or So of Increased Racket, in Addition to the Usual Tinnitus Noise, to Look Forward to as we Head into Fall and Winter. :(
