Obviously, this applies to mylotters of a certain age. I don't think younger people get this. Unfortunately it usually is associated with some degree of hearing loss. I do have it, but mine is very slight..and not annoying. I hope it doesn't get worse or I may have to look for solutions. I know there are some.

Mine comes from years and years and years of going to see bands. Constant ringing, but I live with it since I did most of it to myself.

Oh, I don't have that, but I do get a slight whistling type noise. It will happen for maybe 20 or 30 seconds and then it is done.

@teamfreak16 Yeah, I have heard of hearing loss from loud music.and what you are describing. I hope it doesn't get worse either.

@snowy22315 - I don't know how else to describe it, it's just a constant noise. I can live with it, but I'm also hoping it never gets worse. You know how your ears "ring" after a loud concert or event or something? It's like that, but it never goes away.

I have a minor case of tinnitus due to aging and being exposed to noise outdoors.

You are too young for it. It isn't that bad at least for me..I wouldn't even necessarily call it annoying because it doesn't last long..but some people have it horribly.

I have to see my EENT doctor very soon. My hearing might be degrading without me actually noticing it. Sometimes I would feel pain in my ears and some ringing sound.

I think that is most likely to be ringing. I have a bit of a whistling variety. It is pretty low though, just enough that I know it is there, maybe 1 or 2 episodes a day. It will be nice if they don't increase.

@snowy22315 - I hope that at least it remains low and only a couple of episodes a day.

@JudyEv That would be hard to deal with, if it is all the time. Keep looking I know I have seen things online about how to minimize the symptoms.

@snowy22315 It's continual but worse if I'm tired.

You might be a little bit too young for it.
