Tinninitis solutions

[rr2030]

I can always tell when my girlfriend is going to yell at me. It starts with her mumbling in the kitchen, and then I say "What?!" The yelling comes next.

I have to laugh, My daughter and 2 1/2 year old grandson were here for a week visiting for Thanks giving. My daughter informs me that since they have returned home my grandson answers her with a "huh ?" every time she speaks to him. I didn't even do anything and I got blamed. lol

A while back my 12 yo daughter said there was high pitch squeal every time she got in my truck and was amazed I couldn't hear it. It drove her nuts. Finally about a month later I was looking for something and found my electronic ear muff turned on under the drivers seat feeding back, lol. I could barely hear the squeal with it right against my ear, the pitch is very close to one of my tinnitus sounds. She was really happy I found it...

There is no solution or fix. Just something you have to deal with. Google the American Tinnitus Association for a good explanation.

Wife walks in and scolds me " can't you hear that" , what are you talking about? " the alarm" what alarm? "the refrigerator door is not completely closed and the alarm is going" The refrigerator has an alarm ? she rolls her eyes and leaves. I say don't forget to close the refrigerator door on your way out!

Sitting in my truck the sales man says " lift that lever on the steering wheel and wait for the tone, then speak a command" I lift the lever, can't hear the sound and tell him I want some money back. Wife stares at me like Charlie Manson.

On my way through town after getting my new HA, I heard a clicking sound and couldn't discern where it came from. Oh, yeah, it was my turn signal. Never heard that before!!

The female audiologist was explaining all the different functions of the HA. I ask "where is the switch?" She replies what switch? The "wife on/off switch, I replied.
The look I got was priceless!! LOL

I've learned to live with it. Also for now the loss of hearing. The HA's are coming in next year or so.

I can hear normal range, voice, tv, motors ..... I just can't tell anything in the range of the ringing from the ringing.
It's super loud right now. Drives me crazy at times.
I've had it since childhood, shot a 357 with no protection. Ears rang for days. Also Worked oil field motor room & listened to loud loud rock and roll all my young years

That "ringing" could be caused by many things. There are more than 200 medications that could contribute to that.

I tried this technique and it does seem to reduce the intensity and pitch for me, but who has a time or place to do it? Give it a shot.

Step 1
Rest the palms of your hands alongside your head, covering your ears with the section of the palms nearest your wrist. Your fingers should be held gently on the back of your head, pointing toward one another.

Step 2
Hold your hands so that the fingers extend and the tips of the middle fingers just barely touch, and are resting on the base of your skull about one inch above where your skull meets your neck.

Step 3
Place your index fingers on top of your middle fingers like you would do to cross the fingers.

Step 4
Firmly snap the crossed index fingers off the middle fingers against the base of the skull. Make sure you are not snapping onto your neck but onto the occiput, the bone at the base of the skull. There will be a loud drumming, hollow sound. Repeat the finger snapping action about 50 times.

I tried this. I think it helped.

Parents never taught me to use hearing protection . Running mowers, weedeater, tiller, irrigation pumps and shooting without earplugs or muffs when I was a kid I believe did me in. Now that I work in a weaving facility where it is 110db for 8hrs+, hearing loss is is something I have to keep in mind all the time. I wear plugs for about everything now .

When I was kid growing up we never had the equipment you have stated

As some do, I ignore it.

Ive run a mowing scythe too. No ear plugs needed.

Are you kiddin? When I was a kid cars had steel dash boards, bias-ply tires, drum brakes and BIG motors. Remember Ethyl? No! Not the gal down the street wirh the big green eyes. Gasoline addative. Gas looked like orange Kool-Aid and smelled wicked good. Nobody wore seatbelts, not sure some of the vehicles I drove even had them. Hell, we'd stand up in the back of pick-ups, hooten'-n-hollarin' like fools going 70 MPH on two lane roads that twisted around like a black snake on asphalt in August.

Ear plugs? No one was worried much about losing some hearing back then.

I was talking before automatic transmission and flat head motors were the best

FWIW....I just listened to this vid and it seems to offer some insights that MAY be helpful. It also has some interesting stats about gun related:

This is the most entertaining thing I've read in quite awhile, I always blame my ex her voice and the ringing are so close that it sounds like she's still screaming at me, damn painful reminder
