Ringing of the ears. Been driving me nuts on and off for maybe 4 years. Sometimes a weird rushing sound. My Dr. Sends me to a "specialist". Outcome, nada, can't be fixed. Thanks a truck load of manure Doc. Oh, Mel Gibson sponsors a clinic out in CA.

Got the same thing and yes, no known cure yet. The only good thing about it is that I've got an additional 10% on my VA disability claim.

just put them on vibrate or no ringtone.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Had it for years and years. It's an old friend now. Occasionally it goes away for a few days and I miss it. But then I can hear the wife, not sure which is worse.

I've had it for years. Sometimes it becomes loud enough that I can't hold a conversation or use the phone properly. Others it just fades into the background. Right now its really singing.

Mine has been around for about 7 years. It is a whoosing/ocean-wave sound that goes with my pulse. If I press my finger under my ear it stops. Has gotten progressively worse, so I wonder if eventually it will block out all outside sound. 2 ENTs said I would just have to live with it.

I have it on my VA too (thank you F/A-18s). Nope, no cure. If you're not a veteran have it registered with Social Security as a hearing disability, might as well.

I've had it for almost 10 years. Mine sounds like squeaky pully's sometimes, or like the whine of a turbo in a jet other times. Never goes away.

Add one more to the list... had it a long time, getting progressively worse. I use it to gauge my blood pressure; it changes from a pulsing ring to a solid ring as the BP goes up.

Mine is independent of BP and the pulsing is very different from my heart rate, thank God. It's pretty low key today. No pulsing at all.

Exactly, no cause in 99% of the cases, Dr said, but there are some things that can do it.
