Sounds like my husbands Joke:
The wife was complaining that she had a constant noise in her ear. I asked her: "how long have you had it" she said " about 3 months" I said "is that all, I've had that for 30 years !"

I hear people say that a lot. If i am complaining about mine. they will say oh I've always had that and you just want to slap them. 30 years not like this without complaining. I may post a topic in couple days. I am beginning to think mine might be caused from my thyroid but I take medication but if it is not exactly right, it can cause this. Also, I read to take the medicine at night and i always take in morning along with the rest and it loses its effect. Just a thought for everyone with thyroid problems and T.
