    Feeling Scared

    Your hearing is so precious and please go to a doctor ASAP. Until then calming techniques you might try. Heat from a hair blow dryer or any heat source will comfort you. Humming your favorite song louder than the tinnitus releases endrophines, calming, and makes you feel much better.

    Tinnitus Appears in My Head Rather Than in My Ears?
