@catstx Mine now after many years of the odd knock or tap, is like a machine running 24/7; but some afternoons when lying down I do hear a choir of old-fashioned songs; another time like the voices of commentators at a horse race...." now coming round the bend is Nancy's Pride, closely followed by Shiny Boots" .. etc. It would be funny if it were not actually happening to me and that I might be going out of my mind! I did find an explanation on Internet but can't find it now. The tinnitus has been devastating along with other illnesses I have, but the ear pain and pressure is worse and seems nothing can be done, or rather, no one wants to do anything about it.. not sure.
