How many here have constant tinnitus?
May 17, 2021 at 12:50 pm
I'm in my 60's have a chronic high pitched tone (around 5000 htz) and is probably youth work related. I'm sure rock music turned up to 11 didn't help either. It gets tuned out when there are other distractions but I do know that I don't hear voices as clearly when in crowds.
Anyone else?

Yep - I got hearing aids that are made to help with tinnitis as well as hearing loss. They do help quite a lot but I don't wear them much any more since I never go anywhere. It's nice to have them handy though.
Some days are better and some worse than others. I guess I have grown used to it.

Hard of hearing or selective hearing?

I'm in denial. I'm pretty sure everyone around me are chronic mumblers.

Not constant, but chronic. I’ve had intermittent tinnitus since I was 17.

And do you have tinnitus? Which was, you know, the question.

I would assume it is never good to constantly have loud music pount my eardrumbs. But certainly for a band it is a far higher risk for ear damage.
