I haven't been diagnosed with tinnitus, but I know I have it.
Left ear, terrible tone, which is why I've always got the radio on, or tele.
At night in bed, I've got my fan on, not only to keep me cool, but for the noise too.
Without that, it's far too quiet and the tone in my ear takes over...
It's worse when I have a bad headache or migraine.
If I concentrate on the tone, I can still here it when the tele or radios on, but the distraction works well...
