Thanks MrPhysio+,

no need to apologise for being pedantic

I have no problem with what you have said...

...but i want to hear from the OP what the deal is with what he considers to be tinnitus.

Rather than put the idea in his head as to all the different things tinnitus can be, i would rather him tell me - which is why i asked - i wasn't clear on what was going on from his history. If he had been sitting in front of me, i would have cleared it up straight away (just like every one does when they want clarification during a S/E) but since he isn't, i thought i would ask now

Thanks for your thoughts

Cheers
