    Diagnosis & treatment
 
Tinnitus (TIN-ih-tus) is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. A common problem, tinnitus affects about 1 in 5 people. Tinnitus isn't a condition itself — it's a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder.

Although bothersome, tinnitus usually isn't a sign of something serious. Although it can worsen with age, for many people, tinnitus can improve with treatment. Treating an identified underlying cause sometimes helps. Other treatments reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable.

The tinnitus is bad enough, but there are times it sounds like people talking, just not quite clear enough to make out and that's just plain disturbing. After thirty four years the ringing is mostly in the background but there are times of frequency changes and extreme volume. Anybody else experience that?

Both ears since Spring 1969 on the range at Fort Ord, Calif.

Permanent nerve damage is what I have been told. No treatment or cures.

Maybe you heard or know different. I rarely think about it.
