Anyone else here suffer from tinnitus?

[M_Six]

I have it pretty bad in my left ear and to a lesser degree in my right ear. Sometimes I can deal with it and other times it drives me nuts. Anyone else have it?

I used to have it in my solar plexus..right behind the knee.

Methinks JP is thinking of something else.

[John Prophet]

nah, just more deadpan

"deadpan"

Is that a synonym for "thread crapping"?

[John Prophet]

not even remotely a threadcrap. Not even in the same league.

A bump...but not anywhere near a threadcrap.

"cheese" is a synonym for thread crapping (don't make me bring it out).

Is that what Curly was always talking about?

"Moe, Larry, the cheese!!!"

I have mild tinnitus, caused from years of work in noisy machine shops, and shooting large caliber hand guns. (yes I used hearing
protection in both activities). The only time I really notice it much is
when my blood pressure is up or if I'm in a very quiet room.

Well, to stay on topic...I get a little ringing in the ears on occasion, never to the point of insanity though...that's gotta suck because you can't even block out the noise with earplugs....
