Thanks for the response Glynis. Sadly, I live in a warm climate. Well, not sadly – since I live in a warm climate – but you know what I mean. This is the first time I can hear it above normal background noise when not exacerbated by a loud noise event. Time to take a look at my lifestyle and...

Hey all, Experienced a big upsurge in volume lately. Before, moderate background noise would mask it during the day and a soft radio by night. But for the past week or two, I can hear it above everything. No recent trauma or loud noise exposure that I can think of. Really depressed and...
