[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1327830, member: 711"] I have it in spades. Have for a long time. Look at it as part of you. An unwelcome part, to be sure, but you have to embrace it rather than fight it. It isn't going to go away. The only cure is to be made completely deaf surgically, and no one is likely to want that. Get in a quiet room and listen to it. Is it steady (luckily mine is) or does it vary? (that is supposed to be the worst). Learn to use what you have left. In that quiet room, start introducing discrete sounds and learn how they sound over/under/through the ringing. You will be surprised what a little organized practice will do for your ability to separate out the useful from the built-in. Don't quit hunting. Even deaf people hunt. Embrace the ringing. Again, don't fight it. You are fighting yourself. HELLO? Hmmmmmmm . . . wasn't the phone after all . . . CB Afterthought--sometimes hearing aids can be a big help, but go to an ear surgeon rather than just a hearing aid place and get a thorough evaluation. Especially if your onset is recent, there may be some medical help available. [/QUOTE]
