thread winner
i've got tinnitus pretty bad, completely identify w/ the sleep problems. i have a little fan that makes just the right noise on high setting to let me sleep, but w/o it or some type of relatively loud background noise i can't sleep for shit. our power was out for a couple days and still no cable or internet, so it's really quiet around the house which means it's loud as hell in my head. my hearing seems to be fine, though. i always blamed too many loud concerts, but someone told me tinnitus was hereditary and my mom's got a bad case of it, too, so i wonder. both probably contributed to mine. hasn't gotten on my nerves enough to see a doctor yet, don't figure there's much to do about it besides preventing further damage. |

I know what you mean as I have it in my right ear. Stress increases it.
I also have hearing loss at the higher frequencies. Did they say anything to you about it after the hearing test? Your problem sounds more like you have it now and didn't do much to prevent it. All you can do now is keep an eye on the things you do and make sure you wear hearing protection as often as possible. Otherwise, it will get worse. I was hoping these hearing aids are something I could wear at bed time that might do something to cancel out the noise...during the day I'm too busy and could give a shit. When I come home and need to relax....totally different and sucky story. |

This might sound stupid as shit, but I've always protected my ears in the studio. Live is a different story...though now I use those musicians friend things and they're clear so you don't look too gay.
Anyway I believe 100% it's from the ipod in the gym. Again that might sound ignorant but if I had to pick...it's that. |

ENT might be the first stop. Ive seen one a few times and theyve sent me to an audiologist. Who knows, probably depends on your doctors and what they determine. But, I have custom made earplugs too that were made at the audiologist.
