New year, new joy...

It seems that my tinnitus has spread. Aside from hearing hissing and piping and ringing tones in my right ear in irregular intervalls, now I have a constant, low-key humming noise in my left ear, as from this evening. And it shows no signs of going away any time, soon.

Fortunately, it's not too loud. But it's most disturbing nonetheless. I know there isn't a cure for this kind of thing; my Grandma had it, my Mum has it, so I've probably inherited the affinity, and the stress and the noise level at school did the rest.

It was not completely unexpected. I just wish I hadn't started twenty years earlier than the others of the family.

I'm very sorry to hear this. Even if there's no cure, I hope you can learn to live with it calmly, at least.

Well, it comes and goes. I don't want to put my hopes up, but it has been away for two days or so... perhaps it was a temporary thing. I've got it bad enough with the right ear, I'd hate it when the left one would get it semi-regularly, too.
