Jim Healey Poet Limerick

Does the Noise in my Head Bother You?

Tinnitis is annoying, with little tings
going off in my ears, and crackles and rings.
With this noise in my head
I dread going to bed,
This affliction's such a terrible thing.

I often go for days without any pings
inside of my head, no hisses or dings;
but when they occur
I can't relax, life's a blur;
If there is ever a cure, I will sing!

Clive Culverhouse September 12, 2024 at 7:26 AM I used to say I suffer with tinnitus but now I use it for my own good, I have it constantly in both ears, anyway I was drawn to your poem here by the title, I've written about it myself, I enjoyed your write, Jim Jim Healey September 12, 2024 at 8:17 AM Hey, Clive. Glad you enjoyed the poem. I wrote it only a few hours ago while I was having an "episode". I have a constant hiss in my right ear that, typically, doesn't bother me, but crackles in my left ear (which crop up every now and again) are most annoying. I hope that you do not suffer badly with this affliction. Take care. Cheers from Canada. Jim
