It gets worse over time, it's what I was refferring to when I said going deaf was not the worst thing that could happen. I'd take hearing loss over the ringing any day. I've lived with it for over 8 years, and I do notice it getting louder from time to time. It's not too bad, I'm not gonna kill myself over it or anything (apparently it's one of the leading reasons in the UK for teenagers to do it), and my hearing is still really sensitive and clear. But I think that's because, once I identified it, I did something about it, I stopped using headphones totally, I don't go to loud gigs (not that there are alot here anyway), I have the equalisers on my stereo set to choke out the high-end (as that's what goes first), I avoid or limit my exposure to loud situations etc.. I'd rather miss out on a few experiances and keep my hearing reasonably intact, than reach 30 and be like "oh, I remember that song I really used to love. Shame I can't hear anything now"..... Seriously, take it easy. I have no idea how old you are (I'm 24 btw), but your ideas may change ina few years, and you may be selling yourself short now (as I said, there's no cure, and all the regretting it in the world aint gonna help later on).
