Ah.. in a prior message you said you had a "tin ear".  I took that as
"Insensitivity to and inability to appreciate the elements of performed music
or the rhythm, elegance, or nuances of language"

Whereas "tinitus" is something else.  I have a modest ringing in my ears too,
for many years, but most of the time I can ignore it.  It is said that the
frequency you hear is the frequency that is dying. It seems to me that the same
frequency is having a long slow death.
