I keep looking for those high-pitched crickets that surround me at all times, but they are invisible.

You must be new to this. Give it time and you won't even notice.

Its the same place that jet engine whine is for me, I reckon.

About 1k working dives and a ruptured left eardrum. The tinnitus never stops. Ever. And they tell me I'm not eligible for any disability.

1. It's because you were issued ear plugs, so you should have worn them (their words, not mine).

2. Tinnitus isn't detectable so it's an automatic 10%, just gotta request it (though that's changing and they want some kind of proof or some shit now? --how do you prove something that can't, well, be proven?).

3. There's a huge class action lawsuit against 3M, the plugs didn't work...

4. I'm a plaintiff, but in the last year+ no progress has been made and the judge has literally asked me for my goddamn DD214 like ten times.

See how circle jerks work?

But yeah, I get a couple hundred a month to compensate for the fact I'll never experience silence ever again.

Thats awful, I know the feeling. I remember growing up in rural Virginia in the 50's. It got so quiet you could hear the snowflakes fall...they sound like tiny silver bells. Once I experienced complete silence, its a bit disturbing at first.

And it was so dark the Milky Way was incredible. Damn I miss that.

Private sector people who haves tinnitus from work listen to the crickets for free.

Thanks Mag. This might actually work. If you talk to a neurologist who specialized in hearing disorders, he will likely tell you the ringing part of tinnitus actually originates in your brain, not your damaged ears. That's why in experiments even cutting the nerves to the ears did not make the tinnitus go away, since it does not originate there. I'm not expert, but my understanding from the neurologist was that the ringing you "hear" is actually the brain trying to stimulate, or somehow cover or excite the lost of certain frequency ranges, for the areas of the ear where the inner ear "hairs" are damaged or destroyed. So if the hairs could be regrown, the brain might then be happy, and shut up with the tinnitus.

I had tinnitus so bad that I didn't think I could live with it when it started. But like everything else bad that happens, you can eventually learn to live with it and ignore it, and go on about your business. So it doesn't get better, but you can learn to ignore it.

We have a leopard gecko that we feed crickets to. We keep the them in the house. When the crickets start chirping, I'm the only one in the house that can't hear them. The down side is, I can't hear the birds singing outside either.

So then this drug would help with tinnitus, when your hearing comes back the brain will self adjust?????

I see what you did there……..

We are talking about hearing here - not vision.

I am putting Rogain on my cutips from now on.

It's been ~10 years for me, how long do I have to keep noticing it before I don't notice it anymore? It doesn't bother me too much when I'm awake because there's always noise loud enough that I don't notice, but when I get in bed at night it's too quiet for me to not hear it, so I turn a movie on and set the sleep timer so I can crash out.

Your not alone it’s been since the 80’s for me

Mine probably started in the early '90's. I really don't remember when I ceased to notice it. Too many years of guns, loud music and race cars. I no longer mess with race cars and now wear hearing protection when shooting.

Sometimes hearing loss can be a good thing.

Great news, but could somebody please answer the phone?

Yep. I grew up on an open air tractor, putting up hay, cultivating corn; guns, motorcycles. My hearing supposedly got better from my MEPS hearing test to my retirement hearing test...but those later years of riding my Harley with a half helmet certainly didn't help...wind noise is a lot louder than people think it is.

There are some phone apps for tinnitus, supposed to mask it. My FFL has one that's a white noise generator he says works pretty good. I think you can "tune" the noise to your specific "ringing".

Best apps for tinnitus

I dunno, lately I've been working so dang much I'm freaking exhausted when I go to bed, so it hasn't kept me from sleeping lately, but yeah, it can when it's bad.

I have a noisy fan next to my bed that generates the breezy white noise.
