No cure that I know of. It's just such a part of me that I don't notice it, and I think I would freak out if I suddenly heard real, actual, total silence--what does that sound like, anyway?<br /><br />So, short answer: you are not alone, there is no cure that I know of, but you get used to it.MikeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530099708429116393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-36224122779546791472013-08-27T22:06:28.176+01:002013-08-27T22:06:28.176+01:00Yup, have had tinnitus for years - I think it deve...Yup, have had tinnitus for years - I think it developed after I went to a gig at the City Hall in Newcastle when I was a teenager and stood too near the speakers. I'm used to it now so I must have a method of blocking it out most of the time. However, when I have a cold and my ears are affected, the noise is far more noticeable. <br />Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.com
