    Tinnitus question

    Also mid '50s now, but I was maybe mid '30s when this happened. My city also installed some High Freq things in the downtown area to annoy the teens and stop them from loitering.

It's not like I'm hearing a sound, I can cover my ear and it's still there. Cleaned my ear, soap, hot water, hydrogen peroxide, nothing seems to help. Is it a...
