Tar Heel: I have major issues with tinnitus also. I have reactive tinnitus which means that when I go to public places with people around my tinnitus actually gets worse. I went to a tinnitus clinic here in Wisconsin and they put me on white noise therapy to counter the tinnitus. Couple of times a day I play a river stream flowing.... very soothing! We need to train our brains to ignore the tinnitus.....because that is where it is coming from! Hope this helps!
