Tinnitus - Ringing in the ears

Author: skygardener
Date: 2007-10-17 04:52

I just thought that this is a useful topic to go into as hearing is important for all musicians.
How many of you have tinnitus ? How severe is it? Does it cause you any problems in life/music??
And the most important question...
Have you any way to get rid of it or even reduce it??

As for me- I have had it for about 5-6 years consistantly and I have had it off and on for about 10 years. It has caused me to basically cut out the hope or possibility of orchestra/band work as that (ie. trumpets) was the cause. As for treatments- I have tried Chinese herbal tea, massage, acupressure, and meditation but I really have found no effect from any of them. The only thing that makes a difference is to be careful to not expose myself to loud volumes of any kind. As long as I have a quite life, so to speak, the tinnitus is not that bad, but if I go into a loud environment for a while it begins to get painful.
Your experiences...
