ok, I'm approaching the big 60 later this summer, and I'm begining to wonder if the sporadic 'whistling' noise I sometimes get in my left ear is Tinnitus or just a sympton of getting older or could it be a reaction to blood pressure/cholesterol meds I take . Any other "coffin dodgers" have this problem ?.
Should mention I have spent all of my working life in Boiler/steel fabrication shops where the noise levels are pretty high, the scary thing about it is the TV level ....when I turn the TV on in a morning it blasts out , set from the previous nights level when the set was turned off .
Any other walking wrecks have this problem ? or anyone have a solution ?
MargaretR .........a special herbal remedy ?

thanks ....
