Hello, Keith from near Cambridge
I have been experiencing tinnitus mostly in my right ear, almost continually 24 hours a day, its a single high pitch sharp tone around 14KHz, I dream of silence, the cause I fear is my mistake, I used to run a mobile disco through the 80's, always wore headphones, but often the right ear was uncovered to listen to the music the audience was listening to and at a lower volume my left ear was queuing up the next track.
I find its worse when I am tired, and even worse if I have been in a noisier than normal place, I can only get to sleep with music at a low level in the background to help drown out the sound, I have experimented with noise canceling, but so far not much success.
