I am profoundly deaf. I have tinnitus. Q.E.D. :-) Luckily, mine is related to head movement. Turning my head from left to right produces a loud chirping in my left ear. The loudness is directoly proportional to the speed of the turn. Most of the time (almost ALL of the time) I can completely ignore it. Rudy Vener uucp: att!mtqua!rudy internet: rudy@mtqua.att.com
