My tinitus sounds like one of those relaxation tapes titled "Sounds of the Rainforest." The little coquis from St. John have taken up residence inside my head. I sleep with an overhead fan and a nightstand fan beside my head. Does double duty in case Dr. Love decides to cut one! (Old people do that, Taylor. "EEEEEWWWWW," says Taylor.) Now it really sounds like St John with the fans going. I just try to drown it out with music, fans and TV. I have a really hard time concentrating if I'm reading a book because I need quiet for that.  So I've given up literature in favor of cinema!!

I thought my high pitched bell ringers were bad, but I'll take them anyday over the Jackhammers and machine guns. Geez, I couldn't imagine listening to that 24/7.

Thanks Kathy!
