i have 24/7 ringing in my ears.  It goes back as far as I can remember.  When I was a kid it drove me nuts to be in silence so I had to sleep with my door open so I could hear the tv from the living room.  Now I can control it and I must have silence unless I'm on vacation where I'm stuck sharing a room with my mom and she snores.  The only time the ringing bothers me is when I'm sick it seems that it gets louder.


I have menears (ringing in the ear) It runs in my family.  There is surgery to fix it but once side effect can be you can go deaf in that ear (happened to my uncle)

It is now starting to affect my balance and depth perception.  I have difficulties walking down stairs it looks further down than what it is.
