Yes - you read that correctly. According to what I remember from a hearing test ten years ago, my hearing is better. Go figure because nothing else is!!!

I've had tinnitus for years and it never bothered me. Even when I started getting "zip zip" electrical noises across the back of my head at night - thought it was weird and scary at first, but was OK. I've had the fullness for at least four months, but It wasn't until a couple of night ago that...
