    DAMN it's done it again - sometimes I just can't re-type it all.

    To me, tinnitus is like having a muzzled mosquito buzzing in your ear night and day.

    I've had it now for 2 years after a .45 pistol was fired in my room. I've talked to the doc as it is very annoying, but he said there's nothing they can do short of surgery. I have no health insurance so that's not an option right now. I always have some sort of "noise" going so it isn't as noticeable. Otherwise, if you "tune in" to the buzzing it can drive you nuts.

    I feel for anyone who is experiencing this.

    Tap a crystal goblet with a spoon, then hold it up to your ear, as it fades to a certain pitch it freezes and stays there for the rest of your life.

    Glander - I'm not sure about that, where did you hear it (excuse the pun)?

    I had no idea this was such a pervasive problem for so many.

    Sorry you guys have to deal with it.

    It is my analogy of the ringing that best describes it from my perspective.
