    I had a crazy, ugly day yesterday: almost no sleep the night before, lots of work stress, a rare upset with hubby, screaming tinnitus thanks to thunderstorm after thunderstorm blowing through. Hubby and I resolved the upset, I went to bed early, took a sleeping pill, and finally got in about...

    Singing and Tinnitus

    Just curious: Does anyone here sing in a group, either as an amateur or professional? And if so, how does affect your T? I sing (for fun) in a small ensemble as well as with a large community choral group. I had my first rehearsal with the large group last night, after our summer recess, and...
