    Have Any of You Warned People About Tinnitus?

    I try and warm people as well, in as positive a way as I can, but if they are like I was 20 years ago they probably won't take any notice either.

    What Type of Computer and Operating System Are You Using?

    It's a pleasure to be here. The crow on my shoulder was a bird in distress that needed a bit of rescuing, it's not a pet :)

    Perhaps I ought to add a bit more: My tinnitus is almost certainly music related, I go to a LOT of concerts, I'm a music lover (understatement). As years went by the ringing in my ears took longer and longer to subside until a few years ago, it didn't subside at all. It's been there ever since...

Some background, I have constant tinnitus in both ears (louder in the left) and it varies in volume with tiredness, first thing in the morning etc. I suppose you guys know who this feels (sounds). I thought I'd join...
