hey bebe



I've had it about 45-years. Had a firework go off next to me when I wasn't expecting it.

As others have related, then the litany of loud music, tools, cars, concerts etc over the 70s and 80s took their toll.

I have bilateral tinnitus with at least four different frequencies going at all times & hours. Use white noise at night otherwise I just try to ignore it & am mostly successful. Hasn't really impacted me in any significant psychological way, though my wife & I are both going deaf. I may try hearing aids but am skeptical that they'll do more than amplify & that is really the last things my ears need.

I'm playing with this noise generator, and I've noticed that the ability to hear certain frequencies disappears, and I wonder if those dead spots coincide with my tinnitus.

I can hear up to 8300

OK I had to stop because it's freaking out my cats.
