Back in March I posted about my trip to the Otolaryngologist (see Can You Hear Now Part 2) regarding the ringing in my ears.  I was told I had Tinnitus and that it can be caused by factors other than exposure to loud noise such as high blood pressure, stimulants like coffee, lack of adequate rest, and stress.  The doctor suggested I try listening to White Noise to help deal with the ringing.

So, my plan was to listen to White Noise for a few weeks and give an update on how effective it was on my Tinnitus.  Well, I never got around to listening to any White Noise, but I can report that I noticed on the days that I was really stressed out the ringing was loud and clear.  And on the days were things appeared to be running smoothly the ringing seemed to be non existent.

Well, based on that I can only conclude that stress is to blame for my Tinnitus.  I guess this means I need to visit A Calm Place more often.
