Tinnitus is a ringing in the ears. With some, like myself, it gets very loud and bothersome if it's silent. I have to have some "noise" in order to keep at bay. Others hear the ringing loudly all the time with no let up whether there is outside noise or not.

Most of us rsd'ers have an intolerance to loud noises now because it increases the pain a lot and can cause us to feel those electrical zaps, or as with you, severe headaches. I'm sorry you have that happen to you from loud noise. I can't imagine!

Hugs,

Karen
