I don't know what caused my tinnitus, but I started to become aware of a very low ringing noise in my right ear, which is now constantly there.

I'm half deaf. I have nerve damage and a constant ringing in both of my ears, and there are certain times and conditions when I can hardly hear at all.

As anyone who has tinnitus knows, it's not something that you can ignore, and you have to deal with it on a daily basis.

I've had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse - touch wood.

I can't be quiet, as that's when I notice the ringing in my ears.

I am tone deaf.

Nothing is going to improve my hearing. I've only got to prevent it from getting worse.

The hearing test, which involved sitting in a quiet room listening to noises of various pitch played through headphones, confirmed the worst. I had no hearing in my left ear whatsoever.

I have selective hearing.
