Ok so I've read most of the articles found on google...and I guess I will have to wait for my insurance to kick in before seeing a doc.

Unless you are in a finincial "situation," I wouldn't wait for insurance. Call around, most places offer a significant discount for self pay. A visit to a primary may cost around $150. Well worth the peace of mind it will bring. Mention to the doc you are self pay and he/she will be less likely to refer you if you don't really need it.

i had a clogged ear about 2 years ago and my idiot neighbor told me to hold my nose closed with my fingers and attempt to blow out my nose to unblock my ear...... good god that was dumb. it popped something in my right ear and it rang for at least 6 months...

No ringing any more.... i beat off a lot too though.......so maybe that helps me hear.....

No slogan for Beating off... "makes ya go blind, but no ringing in your ears"

Sorry Scot, but WHO's the idiot in this story???

Tinnitus could be so many things. Though I can not guarentee it, I doubt that you'll have a stroke by the time you go to the doctor. You are not the right profile to have carotid stenosis.

If it makes you feel any better, I"ve had tinnitus many times. It always has gone away.

now go answer the door.
