huffhuff Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not sure what it will be about - but might be worth a listen (no pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefulham Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Had a listen, sad case of the guy who killed himself, how bad it must have been to do that. Never suffered till lost hearing in one ear before Christmas, now got a perm wind type noise with the odd strange sound. Gotta go for a brain scan next week just to rule out nasty cause, Consultant says 99% sure ok as can see or feel nothing, just a precaution, no jokes about not finding a brain, getting enough of them already !!

TbirdX Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I phoned the tinnitus helpline once, it just kept ringing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprackles Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have it but never bothered with docs as its generally untreatable. It's a constant high pitched whistle that never stops. After a bout of shooting the other day it was worse than normal for a while even after wearing the foam ear plugs. I bought some electronic ear defenders yesterday. I don't intend to make it any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 It amazes me the amount of people I see on shoots (clay and game) without hearing protection. I have something similar to tinnitus, it is more of a temporary high pitched whining. As soon as I give the missus some more money though, it tends to go away :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdX Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I thought nowadays, in some cases, they could 'cure' it by using a device to generate the opposite frequency wave so the two cancelled each other out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin128 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Got it too. Many have it...William Shatner has it from an on-stage accident. I have learned to ignore it...it's always whistling away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Shaw Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Got it too. Many have it...William Shatner has it from an on-stage accident. I have learned to ignore it...it's always whistling away. What tune does yours play ?? I have it too but not bad most of the time, I can ignore it (Just like the mamsaab) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 have it a little from working in nightclubs so always use hearing protection now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have it . Described it to the GP who I asked to check my ears before diving and he says it is permanent . You can only try not to think about it . I am aware of it first thing in morning , last thing at night and whenever it is quiet . What used to be a quiet day in the field is now a whistly day . I forgot to use ear defenders shooting in a soundproof tunnel once . A tough lesson . Think I am a bit deaf too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
