I have it in my left ear.

I've had it for years so it's pretty easy to block out most of the time. I pretty much only hear it when I'm in a completely silent room.

Try having a fan or a tv on to drown it out.

Yeah mine is kind of a low drilling sound that annoys me in quiet rooms

Luckily for me I always needed noise to sleep anyway

Do you notice it any worse after you drink alcohol?

I've read some people say it does some say it doesn't. For me I don't notice it any louder the days after I drink. I don't think I could just give up alcohol anyway lol

I think i have it from playing guitar at shows and other shyt through out my youth. I always have sound though so i dont notice it

 

[Sleepy Walker]

Yeah...it's only a problem when I'm in a quiet place then it drives me crazy.

I got it from working on a flightline even though I always wore hearing protection sometimes double.

Is it a ringing? Mine in the beginning was a ringing sound now it sounds kind of like an engine

I got mine a few years ago. I broke my big toe and got addicted to OxyContin.

I started getting a stinging sensation in my upper back after I popped a pill.

Then, one night, I took one and instantly thought I was hearing a strange sound.

I walked around the entire place trying to find the source.

I finally got back to where I popped the oxy and suddenly realized that the sound was coming from my ears.

That was the last time u took that shyt. The doctor said that surgery would almost assure me loosing hearing in at least one ear. Just told me to deal with it.

Got it from the military. For me it some times starts a low ringing sound that escalates to a louder ringing noise.

 

[Frump]

It's been annoying me alot but I only have it for a few weeks

Is it true after awhile you just kinda get used to it?

And do u guys wear earplugs in places like bars or concerts?

 

[Frump]

Oh and ive read some places that alcohol can make it worse? I hope not

I haven't seen that yet. I've drank a few times with it and if anything it helped

What I hear is a low ringing sound that seems louder at times. I thought I was losing my mind at first until the doctor explained it to me.

Do you guys still drink and go to bars/pubs? If so do you wear plugs when you go to bars/pubs and does the alcohol effect your tinitus at all?

I don't wear plugs. I've read that you can manage tinnitus by lowering your consumption of sugar, caffeine, and alcohol.
