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 learn of this development: tinnitus can be really distracting. And it's not something where being precocious is desirable, certainly. I hope it will back off again, at least a bit, and give you those 20 years!

It did back off on the left ear, and only returned for a short time last night. I hope it was just a blood pressure thingy, because honestly, having the irregular whistling and humming in one ear is bad enough.
