Tinnitus.........this is the only place I saw to post this in.....

10. I have it too

It's like a high pitched whine, like the sound you hear when you used to turn on an old TV set.

I had chemo ten years ago (for breast cancer) and I was told that tinnitus is often a side effect.

Very often I have a hard time understanding people talking, especially in a restaurant or store where there's a lot of background noise. I've been to a hearing specialist, but they say there's nothing you can do for it. And my insurance will not cover hearing aids. Very discouraging! to say the least.
