Tinnitus anyone?

LOL, Puubie.

subaruguru,

dunno if it'll help yer tinnitus, but adding a humidifier to our hvac system made a great improvement to the air-quality in our house - more even temperatures, less sinus congestion, less dry throat, les static when touching the electronics... ;~) highly recommended...

Thanks, sedond. After my old one crapped out last year I just last week got a new double-tank humidifier, both to protect my Steinway (even though it has one built in) as well sweeten the air. No effect on the tinnitus; however, the top octaves sound smoother at higher RH (if I can get out of the way of the good Dr. Placebo!). Cheers.

30+ years of concert going without ear protection got me. A constant high pitch whistling? ringing? sound as far back as I can remember. The loudest concert I ever attended was Patti Smith openning for the Rolling Stones in late 70's. Boy that woman can scream (I stuffed toilet paper in my ears it was so loud). WEAR EARPLUGS!!!

I have bad ringing that comes and goes. When I am being lazy and not excersisng my blood pressure goes up and the ringing gets worse. If I am keeping in shape it will completely go away but it always gets its worse when I start to get into an excersise routine.
