Tinnitus, or as it it commonly called a ringing in the ears has been around for many thousands of years already, but only in this fast paced, loud, stress filled modern world of ours is it becoming a major problem.

People who suffered with tinnitus used to be mainly veterans of the many wars fought around the world or people who worked in very loud environments.
But these days everywhere is a loud place, we are far more stressed out that ever before and those lovely gadgets which allow us to hide away from the world and listen music in our own space, our M3 players, do so much damage in a relatively short space of time.
