Yep, I have a tone in my left and right ears with it being way more pronounced in my left. The right has a more pronounced fuzz/hiss that sort of staggers like a morse code at times to go along with a tone. I find that if I press with my thumbs on my temples the hiss/fuzz dies down for a split...

I get a weird bass like hum/vibration sound in my left ear when I get a bad cold. It sounds like someone in a car playing music with the bass turned up too much, rattling the windows. It goes away (or at least I don't notice it anymore) after my cold goes away. It drove me batty for a bit but...

I can't sleep without my custom mouth guard anymore. I used to grind my teeth so bad I had to get a root canal.

Foam plugs are actually great for protection (assuming you get them in deep enough), and typically have NRR ratings of 30+. But, you can still have good protection (NRR 15) and less obvious plugs with Westone custom concert plugs. I got the clear version and they are barely noticeable at all.

I hope you take can find some relief in that we all have some sort of suffering too. Not that your is nothing, I certainly don't mean that, believe me. And i don't mean to say that any of us are happy that others are suffering. But, I think we all find comfort knowing others are out there...

You may shock yourself and find that you have it all the time, just to a lesser degree most of the time. I noticed mine in bed in a quiet room when lying in a certain position. I thought the noise was a light wind outside but I could stop it by pressing on my neck. Mine is loudest about 30...

Lately the static type hissing in my right ear has been annoying me. I have a classic tonal tinnitus in both ears (more loud in the left), a "wind" noise in my left, and a static hiss that can sort of wind itself around and sometimes sounds chopped up like a morse code in my right ear. Just...

The wind in the ear is a type of pulsatile tinnitus, although it isn't always pulsing with your heartbeat. I have that in my left ear and can stop it by pressing on my neck. I only really notice it when I stand up after lying down or after running etc. For some reason, "the wind" never bothered...

One of the benefits of getting older is that invites to disco clubs go way down. Seriously though, if you decide to go wear ear plugs. I suggest custom concert plugs by Westone. But no plugs? Nah, not worth it IMO.

I work in an office all alone but it doesn't bother me that much. I can always "tune in" to it if I want but I don't do that. I've said it before, working in an office is actually good for habituation because it's sink or swim, essentially it is forced habituation. You have to tune it out to get...

Same with, "Ring Relief" people. Saw it at Wal-Mart today. That stuff should not be on the shelves anywhere.

My right ear sounds like a squealing fluorescent light with some baseline static thrown in. It's not LOUD but it's there and noticeable at all times (used to write it off as computers, lights, and water pipes before I realized it was in my head). My left is just a straight T tone with some...

Good for you man, life is short and brutal, can't change that so might as well go out there and chase down a dream or two. I'll be rooting for you.

Sounds like fun, one or two beers or glasses of wine, but I was just never able to see the point of moderation when it came to alcohol so I pretty much abstain 100% these days. Still, always sounded fun.

T is strange and I think most (if not all) sufferers would say that their T fluctuates and changes due to certain stimuli. If I come from outside and sit down in front of a computer my T is crazy (static/tone) but it calms down after a few minutes. Peaks and valleys, the key is not to be too...
