THREE RINGY DINGYS!.............................

[martinidon]

I would love to find help for my tinnitus!

[RnMomof7]

I have ringing and roaring ...I hope this is true

[CarmichaelPatriot]

Wow. Three articles that all say pretty much the same thing!

I deal with my mild tinnitus by running a floor fan all year round. The white noise makes it much easier to get to sleep.

[brivette]

me too.

I've had tinnitus (T) for 10-12 years, but always very mild and not too bothersome. A 2 on the 1-10 scale and I figure I got it from three years in Marine artillery.
Last fall I had to take some prescription meds and bingo, T is now a 7 or 8. Horrible stuff.
The VA has recently provided me with digital hearing aids that produce white noise "tuned" to my T frequency.
Supposely, if I wear/use the aids for many hours per day, the T will decrease in volume over the next few months.
I sure hope so, and a more permanent fix as well.

Do your ears ring all the time.

Mine do frequently, but I couldn’t imagine no break from it.

Kind of like hiccups. I read about a woman that had hiccups for 11 years. After about the third year I would have stepped in front of a train.

I’ve got it from jet noise and industry,
can ignore it most of the time but if
it’s quiet it’s evident.
Hate it, a hissing or constant tone.
Arrrrrrrgh.

My hearing is crap anyway, but I swear I could hear a lot more id the ringing was not masking sounds.

Article did not say, but what are these horrible side effects?

[doorgunner69]

OK, read about things in children....but what about adults?

[oh8eleven]

I’ve got it from jet noise
There are a lot of pilots with tinnitus. Not surprising, all things considered.
BTW, the #1 reason why vets go to the VA these days is tinnitus. I put in for a disability last January (hearing loss and T) ... still waiting for an answer.

What I do and I’m not kidding, is I listen to this over and over and over in my headphones then try to imagine what it would be like hearing this 24/7 for the rest of my life and I then realize my tinnitus is a gift.

What can they do though, there’s no cure. Same issue with me, I use to marshall in jets at Kennedy airport and work around cargo planes. That combined with a severe ear infection and other loud noises gave me exactly the sound of a constant jet engine in my left ear and nothing helps. This one program I use helps a little but not much..........

I believe my T came about due to an antibiotic that I took. I have tried a hearing aid with a white noise option but I rarely turn the white noise on, it mainly just provides a distraction more than anything.

[Ditter]

I have tinnitus and it is pretty loud and constant. The best thing I can do is to stay busy and not think about it.

Now, thanks to your post, I am hearing it loud and clear and it won’t quiet down.

That’s OK, I forgive you.
; )

[martinidon]

Oh man, I would rather have tinnitus than listen to her..... Can you imagine being married to her!

[martinidon]

Yes, they ring all the time. It is worse when I am in a quiet room. I think mine came from being in an Artillery unit in the National guard. It drives me crazy and has gotten worse over the years....

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

That's why Bill looks half dead most of the time LOL!.
