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's ever a cure, I will sing!

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

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
