Tell us more, whit about your tinnitus. I think I have it but in a mild form. I do get a sort of whistling in my ears but if I am busy, I dont notice it so much xx

[whit in reply to pergola]

usually mine is in a mild form ,like a low level hissing sound, occasionally the volume was cranked up for a couple of hours , but for the last week or so it has been more severe all the time : day time ,a lot going on to take your mind off it a bit, night time when all is quiet , that is when it really gets to you, i hope my new sound machine helps ,when i get it

whit I hope it helps you. My wife who studied audiology and was working for the NHS audiology department said that most that one can do is to mask with white noise (or in your case some nice sound).

I had tinnitus for over 50 years. Eventually teh brain dissociates from the noise. Mine is a whistiling tone in the left ear.

Hi Whit, just come across your post. I had intermittent tinnitus for years until a partial blackout in 2007. Since then it's been constant in both ears, sounds like microphones feeding back and super fast crickets added in my left ear. I got a sound generator from the ENT department and it does help. Just recently I've also found listening to music through headphones works for me, I don't think the type of music matters. I listen mainly to jazz and set the volume so that it's just slightly louder than the tinnitus and after a while I seem to get some respite, sometimes for several hours. I know it doesn't seem so at the moment, but it does get easier, I think we naturally develop ways to cope.

Good Luck, Whit
