Hi Joe,

Curiously enough and although I shot quite a bit of .22 ammo in my childhood
and youth with no protection, once I read about Tinnitus on this Board several
years back I started wearing protection, even ear muffs and foam plugs.

Unfortunately I have been told that ear damage is cumulative so my late worry
was just that, too late. I have continued to take care so as not to worsen the
situation. Fortunately, up to now, I have only lost some hearing, as you say,
in the higher frequencies.

Have heard that some help can be obtained with noise stimulation. Would
like to know if anyone has some experience with this, and how it is done.

Thanks again,

JC
