Thanks all for you very informative replies. When I finished reading the post's, my head was really ringing. lol.
I work at a hospital, no, not a DR.-- Maintenance Supervisor.
I know the docs pretty well and often get a chance to chat with them.
One of the Doc's is really into altenative medicine, longevity treatments and has written a book.
He told me his understanding of tinnitus was that the cochlea is lined with sensitive hairs which trigger the generation of nerve signals that are sent to the brain.
He believes these tiny hairs may short-circuit so to speak, due to contact with one another.Again, just another one of many therioes. I'll gladly take a cure for depression and live with my ringing!!!
Regards, Rick
