5603 - Tinnitus


It's only 5 minutes! But it's a real good review of tinnitus and how it's not in your ears but in your brain.

Interesting, but I am very glad that I am afflicted. I love my silence.

I have tinnitus and have had it for so long I am used to it and manage to tune it out, unless something ramps it up. Caffeine, aspirin and the "heavier" painkillers make it more noticeable as does antihistamine in the spring and early summer when I take much more of it for a few weeks. Mostly it is just a fuzzy noise, but sometimes I get ringing and a few times it rings "in tune" like those musical Christmas cards.

Tinnitus is bad, but not nearly as annoying as listening to the grating, whiny voice of Der Furor.

Very interesting, Mike! Thanks for the info!

Sue - "not" afflicted?
I have low-level tinnitus. It has to be really quiet for me to hear it.

River - You have a chorus in your head!

Bill - Amen to that.

Deb - I sent you the link.

No issues here, thank goodness!

Kathy - You're lucky.

Well living in California for 4 years. I definitely experienced this! I don't know whether it was the change of climate, or the stress of leaving Hawaii, normal aging, but it was very annoying and distressing. Distressing. Grateful I seen back to normal. Now that I'm back home. Wishing all suffers relief

Cloudia - That's a new version I've never heard of. You get it because you move and it goes away when you move back. Weird.
