Hi Bob:

Very good and interesting post. I started having severe ringing in the ears when I was on the birth control pill for 7 years - way back when! And that was only one of the yukky side effects I put up with so as not to get pregnant.

In the ensuing years since going off the pill and going through the natural aging process for us women, I do not suffer the terrible migranes anymore, but as you mention in your post, the tinnitis comes and goes at will. Right now, I have a mild version of it - and I might even venture to say that our hectic schedule over the past few months might have triggered it, is that possible? Anyway, it's not bad enough to be concerned about - just irrirating.

Once again, a very neat post and thanks for the valuable information contained therein.
