Ooh, ooh, me! Me!

I've had it since I was little. It sure made hearing tests fun. It wasn't too bad back then; it was only noticeable when it was really quiet. Every once in a while it would get loud in one ear, and I'd plug the ear opening for a couple of seconds, then it'd go away.

 

A couple of years ago, though, my left ear started ringing loudly, and I tried closing it off. It didn't work, and it's been ringing ever since. Doctors don't (or won't) do anything about it, so I've learned to live with it. It's still annoying as hell sometimes, though.  :(

Mine is usually caused by sinus problems

I had a sinus infection back in middle school

It was loud I had to turn the tv to the max just to hear anything from it

Pretty sure I was talking really loud as well

Somebody I know deals with it by sleeping with the TV on.

 

I do this.

 

I only hear it when it's quiet or I focus on it, but it isn't totally debilitating (luckily).

 

I can pinpoint the exact day I got it though. It was about two years ago: I was running on 35 hours without sleep as I'd just finished a project for a class earlier in the day, yet I still went ahead with driving down to Atlantic City with a couple friends. Not only was I completely sleep deprived, but I had a cold, and as soon as I got to our room at Harrah's I took an Advil Cold & Sinus and washed it down with a Corona. Then I hung out at The Pool for about 3 hours where the music was fucking loud as fuck before calling it a night.

 

Yep. That pretty much did it.
