ear buzz update

[Paul Chick (Earthlink)]

"Listening training" does work.  I've had tinnitus ever since my drag racing
days (40+ years ago).  My noise is like a hissing buzz.  I don't think about
until something/someone brings it to my attention.  Occasionally, a person's
voice is too soft to hear through it, so, I just politely ask them to repeat
their phrase.  My tinnitus has no affect on my tunings, so the listening
training has paid off for me.

I am lucky enough, that with my tinnitus, I just 'tune it out'.

Selective hearing, does work, with practise.

We train our ears, to listen for certain partials, so the opposite should be
possible.

To the best of my knowledge, noise-canceling is accomplished by a microphone
listening to ambient noise, and a wave generator creating an exact opposite
noise...  In order to generate an opposite noise, there would have to be an
actual, physical noise against which to generate a canceling noise.

I wonder if the hearing geeks have managed to create some noise cancelling
technology which could be applied to the offending pitches of the ringing.
I have some of it, but only really notice it when I have hearing aids out
and attend to it.  My audiologist said she had been to really expensive
conferences about managing such things, and after spending lots of bucks,
she believes "ignoring it" is the best way to deal with it.  But maybe the
hearing aid companies will even be able to address some of this in the not
too distant future.......

Hi everyone,

I wrote a couple of months ago about a new buzz in my ear

and got a lot of good suggestions.  The ear dr. hasn't found

a cause, after hearing tests and MRI, so it probably is going

to be permanent.  The good news is there was no reason for

it.  Now I need a very well fitted stopper to shut off the

buzz so I can tune and play again.  Thanks especially to Diane

Hofstetter for her big help at the convention and to all of you

who sent ideas.  It was fairly easy to adapt except for piano

sounds!  Wow is it loud when I'm at the keyboard.
