back to the subjuect
good thing I can read...
this ringing in my ears seems to come and go...it is always there just seems like in varying degrees.
Is it because of my attention on it?
Or because my blood pressure is up?
OR because I ate to much salty food?
Or is it because I am tired?
Or is it simply because I have played way too much music?
Does it really affect my tone or ability to "blend"? I always thought I sounded really good and blended really well!!!
I guess when the volume is up and we are cranking along live, I hear the music more than the ringing!

does that = 'can't play'?
I'm thinking of publishing a Hanktionary and Hankosaurus (not a long extinct reptile)

This link explains it all. Basically, the answer is 'all of the above'. My mother has a severe case, presumably caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs like ibuprofen) she was taking for joint pain.

Tinnitus is a disrupting affliction, brought on (I believe) by a partial breakdown of the hearing processes. One might assume that by lowering blood pressure, some relief would be realized. I personally do not believe that this approach will be substantiated, and can easily be confirmed through utilization of a B.P. cup. The incessant ringing becomes exceedingly bothersome, immediately after an over-zealous romp on the volume pedal, which constitutes an undue interruption of a damaged inner ear, with its intricacies instinctively rebelling against further damage. Forget all about consulting publications that allude to an explanation, or cure. By the same token, don't tie up your care giver, with questions relating to tinnitus. To my knowledge, there is no satisfaction to be found through those processes. There are however, just a few rare physiological concerns relating to causes, which could indeed involve a more serious condition. A visit to your local library, or search on the web would reveal the rare possibilities.
Milk will in some cases cause an increased risk of a prolonged ringing. There isn't a chance that I would consider excluding milk from my diet. There is some evidence that short power naps in a sitting position, may prove to be somehow connected to an unwelcome intrusion of tinnitus. I feel secure in the belief that the delicate nature of our sense of hearing, could effect a permanent decline in providing the blessed ability to hear a pin drop, or a leaf cracking under tiny feet, on a still forest floor.

WOW! A TRIPLE NEGATIVE. That ascends to a heretofore unexcelled level of obfuscation.
The reference I quoted above is an excellent listing of causes -- I certainly don't promote the product but feel certain that the background information on causes of tinnitus is accurate. It was written by a medical doctor. Conventional medicine has no established cure for this symptom and the homeopathic approach is worth investigating, IMHO.

Honestly, I spotted the inadvertent grammatical error, moments before reading your reply. Thank you for the reminder, to spend more time double-checking written messages.

After further review of the aforementioned dissertation on the possible originations or causes preempting the onset of sustained high frequency ringing, my proclivity is to pursue the prevention of such by the abstension from substances and behavioral inclinations that exacerbate the condition.
