I have had tinnitis for many years now and it is often quite loud. I am post amalgam removal for just over 6 months and am still hopeful it will go away someday, but, in the meantime, since I don't know what will cure it, I ignore it. I guess with 7 children, I am very busy and that helps. Over the years, I have gotten very good at ignoring it. At least I am good at something! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
