I have had tinnitus since the early 1990’s and it would seem that I got this condition due to playing guitar in a loud rock band and my time spent riding and racing motorcycles, both of which I did without the use of any form of ear protection, in those days it just was not the done thing , not cool. My case seems to be a straight forward case of exposure to loud noise but tinnitus can also be brought on as a result of disease in the ears, head injuries, some medications can also produce tinnitus. The causes of tinnitus are still not fully understood, but in recent times far more research is being done to create solutions and treatments and also to hopefully one day find a cure for tinnitus. Please tell me of your own experiences with Tinnitus.
