Do you have Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)?

I've it ever since returning home from Vietnam. I was airborne infantry. Also have a lot of hearing loss, direct, sustained exposure to agent orange in the jungle and was wounded in an explosion from schrapnel. I am V.A. rated at 100 % permanently and totally disabled.

Yep, for something like 50 years - got it from gun and artillery fire in Vietnam and it has gotten slowly but inexorably worse over the years. For the last 15 years it ahs affected daily life. I can't even enjoy being out because I can't hear the words of the person sitting across the table from me. Any background noise, plus the tinnitus makes it impossible for me to understand the words. Tinnitus is no fun.

No, I don't have it and consider myself very fortunate in that regard. It is pretty common, as you said.

I can pretty much ignore it most of the time. I do use a white noise generator at night which helps (and also helps cover up other noise). This is it, the Marpac Dohm.

I have had it since I became deaf in my left ear at 11. Very irritating. And playing guitar in rock bands didn't help.

No, and I am grateful for that. I didn't realize it was "'very' common", though.

Too much loud music in my ears. You panic at first, but after a while it gets less obtrusive.

Yup I have it all the time. I don't know what causes it, I've tried figuring it out and had tests but oh well.

Fortunately I don’t have it. I know someone who has it though. Not fun to deal with.

Yes. Due to an inner ear condition

Occasionally.

No.
Depends on the age honestly
