Tinnitus - Can You Hear Me

Oh Tinnitus you are a pain Your high-pitched white noise invades my brain Because you are not very kind You cause my head to hurt sometimes I never know when you will appear Or will turn up the volume in my ear But I will not let you rule my life So we will continue with our strife Until the day the doctors find A way to ban you from my mind Oh Tinnitus you are such a pain Why can’t you just go away leaving me with the sound of silence DAMO

Thank you so much Jan, and so sorry to hear that you and your hubby also suffer from this. For me personally I have lived with it now for approx 10yrs, but I won't let it defeat me or stop me living a normal life. It's playing loud right now, if I had the volume button I would turn it off. I suppose that is what needs to happen for a cure, being able to turn it off, or finding the cause in the first place. All the best DAMO
