Today I stayed home with an ear infection, something that I've had chronically since I've been about 6 months old. As an adult I know what to do, I wait for it to drain; once that happens I'm fine. Now for the odd part. For as long as I can remember I've heard a high pitched noise in my ears. The quieter it gets the louder the sound, so to compensate I've always carried around a Walkman, Diskman, and recently and MP3 player just to make sure that I don't get overwhelmed by it. Here's the funny part. Until today, I had no idea that this wasn't normal. I guess in my 28+ years I've never heard a true silence.
Is there a medical treatment for this?
