Geeeeeeez! What a fascinating discussion began when I made a comment about tinnitus. Anyone want to talk about toenail fungus?

Every once in a while I get a rapid, repeated thumping or clicking sound in one ear or the other. It was diagnosed as a 'stapedius reflex.' I guess the little bones in the ear go into jittery spasms for some reason. Luckily, this is only from time to time, and isn't too loud. I am sympathetic for people with chronic ringing, which I hear can drive a person bonkers. (As a composer, I wonder if tinnitus might make all one's music all come out in the same (or closely-related) keys? I knew a composer who discovered many of his pieces were similar in tempo, then it dawned on him that he composed in a room with a very loud old-fashioned pendulum wall clock, where he placed the blame.)
