Sorry I missed your conversation on tinnitus. Mine manifested itself several years ago predominantly in my left ear with the "bang, bang, bang" sound of a pile driver, and it was sometimes so bad it used to wake me up at night. At other times it was like a cross between a whistle and a hum. My doctor prescribed me some pills, but when they didn't work he sent me to see a consultant for tests. Strangely enough my hearing in both ears was good, but better in the affected one. I was told to come back a month later so the condition could be monitored, and when I returned the diagnosis of tinnitus was confirmed. I was informed that I would have the condition for life, yet over the next few months it gradually faded away, never to return.
