A friend of mine recently was complaining about a sound he kept experiencing in his ear. He said it was rather irritating and kind of like a ringing sound. Seemingly he was in good condition, he got exercise regularly and eat fairly well however he was 60 years old and had been exposed to quit a bit of construction tools and sounds over many years. At first he thought maybe his hearing was being lost and this was a side effect of such but after going to a doctor to have it investigated the doctor gave the condition a term, tinnitus. It was something neither of us had ever heard of (no pun intended) but reading more about it, it all seemed to line up and make sense. This ear noise he had been hearing lined up in how tinnitus was explained. While knowing the diagnosis did not make it better, learning some techniques on how to make it better did help. It also gave him the ability to refer to what his ailment was when talking to others about it. He was also able to find a support group in his city that meet periodically about the illness which provided not only valuable insight but also moral support in dealing with this issue. After all of this he realized that there is hope dealing with it and that he would not allow it to control his life.

this is my story, took place in 2002 and its the time when I wanted to buy a digital camera for the first time… has something like this ever happened to you?
