I have it also. Dr. Andrew Weil says avoiding caffeine and salt may reduce it some. Relax the shoulders and neck through massage, meditation, etc. Ooooooooohms.....

Our drummer had really bad ringing and his balance was also affected. I'm not sure if Tinittus and Meuni?res are the same thing, or one leads to another, etc.

At a Zappa show in the 70's, I once saw a drunk actually climb into a sub-woofer on stage and remain there for a few mintes before he was escorted out. Just a guess, but he may have a little ringy dingy now and again....

I wear plugs always. I had custom molded Westones made with removable filters. I also keep extra sets of EARS in my cases. I had a set of Westone dual driver molded in ears made for when I start touring in earnest. I do sound a lot as well as playing in a very loud band. I also instruct marching band. I know I have some loss and occaisonally I get the high pitched whistle in the middle of the night so I cling protectively to what I have left. Dave I will try to take your advise on the salt and caffeine. Good to know, thanks. BTW my band's lead singer toured with Danzig in Samhain and got T real bad and had accupuncture for it. He swears by it.
