how many have always had the 'ring'?
here, as far back as i can remember. i remember one time it stopped
and i got sick as a dog.
docs said it was hypertension, being around noise, blockages,
inflamation all that .....
i take drugs for the blood pressure.. it's still there... i wear
plugs to protect my ears at times.. still there... no blockages..
no inflamation.
i'm sure one time someone said if it runs in the family.....
so i was just wondering how many out there have always had it and never
had a time without it?
thanks for not laughing.. :D

i´m actually experiencing that since about 2 weeks, it comes, it goes,
looks like i have something related to an allergy but there are certain
things that i found as a enchancers of my ringing like smoking or being
on smoking areas, also certain type of food like soy sauce or soy in
any form and peanuts, what is worring me a little more is that i might
be developing some hipertension problem :\ i have 2 weeks of not
smoking and i haven´t my ringing so hard as before but when y get
close to smoking places or I eat something with soy it goes back but it
takes no more than 1 day to slow down again, i hope to find more about
it and find my life style i need to recover a "normal" ear free of
ringings, i think that´s every tinnitus sufferer dream, and that´s
what causes so much anxiety and frustration: being in the middle of the
night with a ringing that ruins your life and can´t find a solution
:(.
I hope those ideas respecting smoking and soy can help somebody.
P.D. i´ve heard that also cola drinks can worsen a tinnitus but i
consider myself an adict of it ;(

i drink cola, much. i stopped a while, long while didn't hamper my
ringing. interesting, smoke too?
soy?
i heard all sorts of things, animal proteins, allergies... sitting down
in some cases, i know one lady who is ok until she sits down... then
the ringing starts but soon as she gets up and walks a lil bit it's all
gone.
i'd probably be the opposite, that one time i didn't have ringing i
bounced around all night going ape because it was like oh no i hear
everything, where's the ring? ugh oh this hurts my head ack make the
ringing start again... all because i got epstein bar and lyme... of
course soon after i got better.. the ring slowely came back.
hypertension they say is hinted through ringing in the ears... my
brother got ringing when his blood pressure started to climb. of
course he takes pills now and it stopped (every once in a while it
starts back up then creeps away).
ya see a doctor about that worry? hypertension is nothing to laugh
about.. or smirk at.. ( i bet ya heard that before :D )

Who not start looking at the back/neck muscle connection?
Most people can find relief by easing tension in those muscles.
It is possible to have tension there and not feel a thing.
Just because you don't feel it, does not mean it is not there.

For years I've had a very low ring in my ear. So low that I could only
perceive it when there was total silence. It must have been the result
of loud concert that gave me a temporary case of tinnitus years ago.
It would be nice to once again only have a quiet ring .

I would have thought that you had that right now.

I've had it as long as I remember too. As a kid I had chronic ear problems
like pain, drum ruptures, had to get tubes, etc. I always kind of attributed
it to that. Not sure though.

one time i had an infection in both ears... no ringing... lmfao!
pain though such a same.
after it cleared up.... ears got a weird pulsing ringing... and
sometimes something that sounds like a distant, muffled news show.
then after battling with a smoke detector that wouldn't let me take the
battery out in a swift manner... the right ear broke out in a flood of
blood... then it cleared up on the right side... for a real short
period of time.
it's like if i injure it i'm doing something wrong and the ringing is a
natural pheonomen with me.
?
but i don't know i'm not an expert or have done much research on the
topic.
oh yeh... i always hear about tubes and jokes, smart a.s remarks..
are tubes painful? dumb query isn't it?
how deep do they go? what are they meant to do? what do they really
do? how long does one have those things.. so on..
