Tinnitus

I have recently developed tinnitus in my right ear; high pitched whine accompanied by a feeling of intermittent stuffiness in that ear. I went to an ENT doc and had an audiologist work up. Turns out my hearing is still good, overall: some high frequency loss in the right ear but overall not bad.
I have read some of the other tinnitus threads on A'gon. I am feeling afraid right now that this ailment will "ruin" my enjoyment of this wonderful hobby.
I am interested in how others of you with tinnitus are doing with your audiophilia. Are you still able to take pleasure in listening to music on your systems?
Thanks. I guess I just need some encouragement.

I just finished reading the posts above. Seems a lot of us are in the same boat, but we're doing just fine(I'm 71). Best of luck and continued wonderful enjoyment to all, including you too, Rebbi.

Andrewrona, Have you or anyone you know tried Tinnitus Tamer and found it effective?

I know you are trying to be helpful but the net is full of useless remedies. The fact that it only costs $35 may be a means to get more people to try it and then just forget about it if it doesn't work, because it's just $35.

I don't mean to be too cynical but I have some familiarity with the the unfortunate reality that there are a lot of dishonest people who have no qualms about separating worried people from their money with false hope.

I am not implying in any way that you are one of those people.

Andrewrona, I guess I was typing my post as you were posting yours. Please keep us informed as to how the Tamer works for you.
