My tinnitus is worse now then it was after my TBI in 87' The back of my head and ears rings a very high pitch and sometimes screams when around alot of loud noise. I can't hear the person talking to me when there is alot of background noise, it drowns out the person talking, which brings on the bouts of confusion, not being able to comprehend and function mentally. 06/09 I had a auditory test and loss 20% of my hearing. I'm along with the others who would love to have a few moments of peace & silence. Have a good day, Grizz
