Ringing In My Head- DARPA ?

[Chiefster23]

30 years of working inside a steel engine room with turbines screaming and diesels yammering has left me with almost no hearing in one ear and impaired in the other……… except for the constant white noise sound of tinnitus in both.

Soy boys don't got no tinnitus.

Cant shoot the gun

Can't run a machine

Can't bait a hook

Can't dig a hole

Can't crack a cold one

Can't fix stuff with wire

40 years of boilers and machine rooms. The ringing never stops.

I cannot say I've been exposed to loud sounds during my lifetime - a few concerts, shooting with ear protection, ear buds at normal sound levels, motorcycles w/standard pipes...so, I see no reason I've had tinnitus for many years. To make things worse, I am very susceptible to noises when I'm sleeping: every fart wakes me up. So I sleep with earplugs. It makes the sounds SO much louder! There are times I take out the plugs and wind up staying up all night from the "other" noises....My ears are ringing as I'm typing this...and ALL the F*cking time. It really does suck...

Lead guitarist in rock clubs in the late 70's and 80's. When you have to mic the drums to hear them, and the stage floor under you shakes when you hit a chord, it might be a bit loud.

Paying for it now of course. I too have seriously annoying tinnitus, along with a zillion other things LOL. But it was always going to end badly. It's the nature of our existence. Not much I would change then or now. Likely if I quit tobacco and bourbon I could extend my elderly and diminishing Shrek-Troll existence for an extra 2 years more or so. F4ck that noise.

Certain audible tones I cannot hear. Mrs Slippy has a couple that come to mind...

Impaired hearing does come with certain advantages.

I did hook up "The Stereo" in the man cave the other day. I could hear it a 1/4 mile away in 'da woods

just above my right eye on the forehead feels like I dropped the gloves and got hit by the guy who docked his boat next to " SeaGull ", the guy who walked on thin ice where I couldn't go.

My ex has been deaf in 1 ear since she was young. She went to an audiologist to get hearing aids. I have had some trouble with hearing her and asking "what", or please repeat etc. When I went into the same audiologist, she said my hearing was perfect, and I had selective hearing with the ex! She told me that the test blew my cover Well, perfect other than the tinnitus!
