I wear one hearing aid. It's in the ear that always has the ringing. It helps some. I notice it most when I take my hearing aid out.

Music is more distracting than the ringing. I don't mind if the music comes to visit, but don't stay. The ringing is easier to tune out and forget.

I know what you are taking about! It was way late at night. I was sewing away. I hear the ice cream truck. What? It's 1:00 am! Can't be! I...

To distract me from the ringing at night, I play a podcast, just loud enough that I can understand the words. I play it under my pillow. My...

If it was that loud, you couldn't even a conversation! I would asked for a table away from the speakers. I have tried to protect my hearing for...

Deaf people drive! But you need to tune up your other senses to replace the sounds you are missing. Maybe you should try as a passenger first.

I agree... I tried some magnisium. I had the same reaction... Upset icky tummy... Zinc does it to me too. Iron on an empty stomach didn't end...

I have a hearing aid and opted out of the white noise. Just having the hearing aid filling in the sounds I was missing helps a lot! Personally,...

The irony of it all... Most of the ringing, or at least the increases in my ringing (and decrease in hearing) is because I interpret for the...

Yes, that is the main reason I went for the hearing aid. It also helps a lot that insurance covered it. My other ear could benefit too, but I...

Welcome to our club that we would prefer to not be members! Your English is better than many I know with English as their first language! I...

For me, looks are important. I need low profile. I interpret songs on stage for the Deaf. So, people are looking at me. It's okay for the...

I have wanted to supplement with magnesium, but my tummy doesn't like it. I get queasy with zinc too. I think it would take care of a few of my...

I agree! If someone can't accept you for who you are and any differences you may have, they will have other problems too... I work with the...

I thought there was a treatment for tinnitus that could be tried in the first weeks or months, if there was going to be any success, but the...

Thank you GregCa. I will keep that in mind. My next set of tests are for November 17th, with a different ENT. It looks like she understands...

Another example of God's care is the Jewish people. From the time God called Abraham to come out to be the father of the Hebrew nation that God...

I have been mulling over who would be a good example of God being caring. In the Bible, God instructs us to care for the poor, the widow and the...

Glynis, you are such an encourager! If you lived closer, I think we might spend time together. Working with 200+ children! does that affect your...

They took the "dis" out of disability! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! That's how I understood it. I go back to check with the ENT in a year to see how things are going. I have done so much driving...

You are right! I don't fit the profile for other things either, but yet, I have those too. At least I know I can insist on a CT scan to confirm...

He did not say that I actually had otosclerosis. He just thought I might. I'm content to leave it there. Surgery does not interest me. That...

Yes. He thought maybe the bones were not functioning correctly, but could only see that with surgery. I'm not very interested in surgery. Right...

I just went to the ENT today. GregCa, you said just about everything he told me! When he looked at my audiogram, he thought I was the perfect...

I have in-ear-monitors I use while I'm interpreting on stage. The type I use has foam sleeves that blocks most sound. The tech at the sound...

Thank you all for your replies! I believe if all the musicians would wear in-ear-monitors, the stage would be a lot more quiet. Then the house...

I have noticed that for many things, fighting it makes it worse. Tinnitus is one of those things. It is possible to forget about it for...

I need help finding the best ear protection for my situation. I'm not in a band, but I might as well be. I interpret the songs in ASL. I'm on...

I like to flavor my water with a little bit of juice. I use just enough to get some flavor. That could be 1/10 depending on the juice. I go...

A thousand years into the future... That should put me in Heaven. I'll be healed of everything then! Even the Deaf can hear in Heaven. I...

I'm glad your audiologist heard you about the tinnitus! The one I saw ignored all references to my tinnitus. During the part of the hearing test...

Yes. I keep my earplugs with me everywhere. Sometimes I use them with my grandchildren! Wooden floors bounce the sound around. My...

I went to the audiologist. I told him about the tinnitus, but he didn't hear me. Tinnitus would certainly explain some of my hearing tests...

With low thyroid I forget words. Sometimes I can start a sentence and forget the end of the sentence before I get there. Or as I'm talking, the...
