I've had tinnitus since about age 15. I've learned to mostly ignore it, as it's been a fact of life for so long (now aged 62)
I'm now "substantially impaired" - severe loss in multiple ranges.
Hearing aids are just that - aids - they are NOT called hearing cures for a reason.

I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
