  10. hi .i have tinnitus caused by sitting in front of a loud trombone section in the band i used to play in .or is it tinnitus ? i have had umpteen hearing tests and they have discovered that i have hyperacusis in fact my hearing is as good as a ten year old child i have been told .no loss of the mid range frequencies either i put this down to lots of ginkyo biloba, it doesn't help with spelling though!i i have learnt to live with hyperacusis and beaten it by over a period of time gradually  putting up with louder noises it has taken 6 months my tolerance levels are much better.as far as tinnitus is concerned i think that i have a blocked eustacion tube which is causing this HUM in my right ear .if i use beclometasone aquious spray i am able to get a good nights sleep so there,s a thought?  john[:D]
