it's ringing in your ears. and ear candleing is supposed to fix it. read about it here

I get ringing in my ears, but I've never considered getting it diagnosed as a medical condition. I imagine it's more serious than the regular ringing?

it's like...non stop 24 hours a day RINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG in my ears. when i was a little kid i would always get ear infections and i think i might have busted my ear drums somehow. then when i was in high school i was in a band and i know i fucked them up playing the guitar. i've been wearing ear plugs every time i go out for the last year but lately its like the ringing is getting louder

earplugs are one of the best investments for ppl who listen to music.
get em.

totally.
question: can you/have you ever dj'ed with them on?

Ive never used those to cure your problem, but just to unclog the ears of wax. They work wonders.

You could but with the piece sticking out it may be a problem so getting custom made ones might be better.



In regards to your tinitus do you have any problem sleeping?
Have you consulted a specialist?
If the problem is really really bad you should get a white noise machine for the day and a ambiance/noise generator for the night.

no problems sleeping whatsoever...haven't seen a specialist about it either, i prolly should.

i'm gonna try the candle thing cus this chick at work is all into homeopathic medicine and she swears it helps with tinnitus...i'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow

oh and aren't custom made earplugs like hundreds of dollars?
