I can thank 5 years of loud drumming in a punk rock band for my tinnitus.
I've been on Prozac and Celexa but they do nothing when it comes to
tinnitus. I tried some homeopathic remedies as well but nothing works. I've
cursed myself to a life of no sleep and sheer misery in a quiet ...

No this isn't OT. There is a small article in the 2004 issue of The Old
Farmer's Almanac (pg 33) that refers to Dr. John's Special ear drops to help
relieve ringing in the ears. Has anyone ever heard of this or tried the
product? TIA

A year ago, due to a ear infection and lack of good doctors even in this
country, ended up with tinnitus which never went away even after the
infection cleared. In fact the ringing became very noticable after the
infection cleared. I was sure it must have been viral infection, and ...

you have to give up hearing but the T becomes MUCH less bothersome. I
suggest the foam plugs you roll into a tube before inserting. I am
leaving again for awhile now. Good luck to all of you.

As i am running out of ATIVA, which requires expensive doctors'

Only last Saturday, I went to see a rock concert (Golden Earring!!) here in
Holland.  Since that concert I  still have got a ringing in my ears , which
just simply won't go away.
The doctor confirmed seeing that the left ear drum looked slightly damaged,

The last few nights I've noticed a faint ringing sound in my head when I go to bed. I'm trying to determine if I have tinnitus -- I play guitar in a band part-time -- or if there is some other explanation.
My question is, what does someone with normal hearing "hear" in an ...

Firstly Merry Christmas to all fellow sufferers and their families.
I came to this NG about 3 weeks ago following the start of ringing in my
ears after a rock concert. One of you kindly asked me to report back after I
had seen a specialist.

Let me define a "cure" as follows:
A cure is a treatment protocol at the conclusion of which a person's
tinnitus cannot be detected by that person upon purposely listening
for it in that person's normal auditory environment.

A weak kidney!   Yes, that is what the Chinese herbalists have been
calling this symptom named ringing in the ear or tinnitus for the past
several thousand years.  They would have changed the name if kidney
had not been suspected as at least *one* of the culprits.

Could tinnitus be 'cured' if if were related to one's blood vessel conditions?

Any symptom - tinnitus, cut, toothache, can be made worse by anxiety
reinforcement.
One way to reduce this is by biofeedback.
