My tinnitus is so LOUD, I'm surprised you all can't hear it!

Seriously though, I've had it BAD since I shot off a CASE of shotgun shells at clay pigeons back in the very late '60s. I was able to pass 1st Class Physicals until retirement in 1990 however. All the Doctor kept saying was, "You're not able to hear the high tones very well, are you?" He was right and still is. I've seen a few doctors and apparently there's not much to be done about it. It is most annoying. Hopefully, those of you still flying and suffering from this, will be able to continue until retirement.
