How loud was your tinnitus when you first noticed it, and how loud is it now? It would be interesting to compare evolution of loudness among members. Use a scale of 1 to 10 to express the loudness. Keep in mind that results here cannot be used to estimate proabillites for your tinnitus to grow...

Okay, so this is kind of like game where you answer yes or no and post a new "would you trade your tinnitus" question. Would you trade your tinnitus for the sight of one of your eyes? The person who answers must remember to ask a new question. (werent really sure where to put this, mods are...
