WHISKEYSWAMP Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've had ringing in my ears for about 10 years... also called tinnitus. Basically the hair follicles or nerves are damaged. I think mine was caused by having a head cold on a plane ride back then, not 100 percent sure. I got use to it after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have tinnitus too. I don't pay attention to it unless I start thinking about it. ( Like now) Or I'm in my treestand and it's quiet. Sorry to hear about that Tim. Hope the pain and ringing goes away real soon!! Will say prayer!!!!

Gator Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I feel your pain Tim. Back in May I woke up at 2am with a hellacious ear ache, mine was caused by my sinus's not draining, and was putting pressure on my ear drum. I actually thought I had done what you did. Beer and Hydrocodone knocked mine out!!!! LOL!!!!! J/K!!!! Did take hudrocodone for a day, along with a medicine chest full of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yikes!!!! Thats gotta hurt! Ear problems can throw off your equilibrium and everything else...Hang in there the best ya can. Hope ya feel better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ear problems can throw off your equilibrium and everything else I think that's why I feel off balance in high places... I use to not be that way before I got tinnitus. I don't have too many problems in a treestand unless the wind is howling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
