Re: Ear problem

I'm 53 with significant hearing loss in one ear, high frequency loss in both, and major ringing -- made worse by a recent ear infection. I am planning to get tubes on one side because there appears to be fluid in back of one drum that has not gone away after a few weeks of steroids & such (intended to reduce swelling around the eustachean tubes.) Or maybe the ear is filled up with scar tissue and forget any improvement. Oh well, it is only money.

One thing for sure. I am going to get custom ear plugs. I love electric blues jams, but perhaps it would be better to listen with my ears stopped up. I plan to wear them to staff meetings, too. :~)

I once read that they had made some progress with devices that put white noise into the ears at frequencies designed to cencel out some of the tinitus. Anyone know anything about that.
