Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?


I just read that an Audiogon member is selling a pair of speakers because of Tinnitus - ringing in the ears.

I have Tinnitus in both ears, one worse than the other, but I have learned to live with it.

Do you suffer from Tinnitus? Do you know of a treatment that has had successful results?

Thanks

Hey, this is a perfect example of why I did what I did above. What Pbb needs is a shot of testosterone. The estrogen comes through loud and clear. Or, is this a Canadian malady?
Protect your hearing, use earplugs and ear protectors, limit exposure to loud sounds such as power tools (this apples to everyone). I've has tinnitus about 20 years, it started as a result of falling asleep listening to headphones, woke up with it. Tinnitus can start with one exposure to loud sounds, protect your hearing, tinnitus can be pretty nasty (I know first hand) and it's a lot easier to protect your hearing than have to deal with the damage after the fact.
