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

I am going slightly deaf in my right ear. It's tinnitus... something like that.

I carry out my full duties as Deputy First Minister and accept I have tinnitus but appreciate the hearing that I do have and that it does not limit me in a professional or personal capacity.

I don't go to see bands any more because I've got tinnitus, so I have to avoid loud music. You get used to it, but when it's quiet you hear a constant ringing.

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

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.

Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem.

I can't bear the silent ringing in my skull.

Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
