Jazzer

Hi folks - I started my musical life on cornet with the Salvation Army at age 10 years. Switched to trombone at age 18, and played jazz professionally ever since. Tinnitus at low level for about 25 years, but much more intrusive for the past three years. I am still performing, but protecting my left (damaged) side with an ear plug. Coping with "T" is not easy for me, but somehow I cope. Any encouraging advice would be most welcome?
