Do you have tinnitus?
I do, and i think its getting worse 
It used to be at the stage where i could only hear it when everything was quiet (usually when i went to bed) but now i can occasionally hear it during the day.
btw, tinnitus is like a constant high-pitched whistling noise (or ringing) in your ears. It can also be a humming/buzzing/rushing/whizzing sound depending on which type you have.
sometimes...i'll be walking and then the ringing and fading of sounds starts to happen.
maybe its because i bump my subs in my car too loud...but i gots to listen to that phat bass!!! 
i do, but i only notice it when i think about it
I've always had it, but only in my left ear. Quite anoying if you focus on it.
ive noticed it sometimes... ill be sitting and all of a sudden rrrRRRRIIIIIIIIiiinnnng and its like 
hey who the what was that
almost like the high pitched ring you hear when you turn on your tv before the picture and sound comes in

I got it constantly, but most the time I have to concentrate on it to hear it or be reminded I got it, like with this thread (THANKS ALOT
) sometimes its pretty dam loud, but I'm used to it now, even though I got it and certain frequencies are screwed some other frequencies I can hear better than most people, some things I've heard other people haven't heard till they get up close to the source, but man I wish I didn't have this ringing, but its not bad considered the amount of times I'v blasted them with music.

I get it when it's dead quiet around... but I think that's the result of a series of fairly bad ear infections a few summers ago. I never really blast myself out with volume.
I have this anoying noise , usually when it's quiet at bed or any time during the day . Im thinking to go at the audiologist and see if he can do something to fix that problem . 
I have it too. I can hear it quite clearly all the time, wasn't like that 1-2 years ago, so obviously it's gone worse.
i dont know if i had tinnitus but i know i used to get a major ringing buzz in my ear like 5 years ago wen i was younger. Im 16 by the way. I used to get it when say everyone was talking really loud in teh house or screaming at each other or something. Most annoying thing ever.
Before it drove me nuts when I was trying to sleep at night because my ears would just keep ringing. But you can make it stop (at least I did). Although it did take about a month of no DJing, no listening to CD's in the car, and no clubs. That month really sucked but no more ringing.
Then I got some Sennheiser HD280's because they cancel out external noise so well. So far so good. I've also been a little more reasonable with the volume levels that I play at home.
Remember: if your just spinning at home - its your house not a club -be reasonable with the volume.
i work in electrical where sometimes i use a meter that sends a high pitch tone when the wiring is connected....exactly the same pitch as my right ear tinnitis crap......i sometimes mess up the wires because i think the the pitch is there when its not!
I was born with it.
been there all my life
Its like you know that tone you get when there is a CRT TV on in the room? I get that all the time.
Doesnt bother me to be honest, like i said i was born with it.
However, i have always worn ear plugs clubs when not spinning, and i dont tend to shove my head in bass bins at gigs either (not any more anyway).
Hasnt got any worse over time- still the same as it always has been
Certain frequencies really hurt tho- due to the constructive interference with it.
Look after your ears kids
I have it...badly for 4 months ;(
I can't go party know cuz my ears expolde...
I can still dj because I'm not djing on high volumes but I hear it all the time...my hearing is still good (2 hearing test) so I hope maybe one day it will go away /;
Don't waste energy hoping. Tinnitus never goes away. He'll be around annoying you until the day you die.

Yep, the only thing you can do is keep it from getting worse. It's a pity human ears are so sensitive, especially for us edm addicts.

oops
I got it after I had a surgery in my right ear. I have learned to live with it as I know there is no cure for tinnitus. To prevent further damage I always wear ear plugs when I go out clubbing.

Earplugs doesn't help much.
Puts off about 20-30dBA which is nothing...
Well the thing is that now I'm very sensitive to high frequency but that has nothing to do with tinnitus,at least I think...
I'm been in 2 parties with earplugs and it didn't help me but I'm sure that if I stay away from clubs in the next few months I'll might be able to party again with earplugs...
Well I dunno much about earplugs or how good the cheap ones are, but I think the cheap ones are kinda crap, they might say they can cut 20db off, but at what frequencys and are they a good fit for your ear, the more expensive ones can be custom to fit your ear perfect and you can get them to cut like 25db across all frequencys, I think this is correct, but anything that reduces the noise will help abit, plus if the club has a really good sound system tuned properly you can have loud music and walk out the club with your ears pretty much fine.
