If you're a Veteran you already have a lot to worry about.  Many people have heard of and understand PTSD, 
however how many have heard of and understand Tinnitus?

it, you know that it's one of the more serious conditions.  It's pervasive and can be quite painful.

It's a condition that until now was not widely talked about or understood.  But with more and more Veterans 
coming back home, it's getting more and more attention.

Tinnitus is the medical term for "hearing" noises in your ears when there is no outside source of the sounds.
The noises you hear can be soft or loud. They may sound like ringing, blowing, roaring, buzzing, hissing, humming, whistling, or sizzling. You may even think you are hearing air escaping, water running, the inside of a seashell, or musical notes.
Considerations
Tinnitus is common. Almost everyone notices a mild form of tinnitus once in a while that only lasts a few minutes. However, constant or recurring tinnitus is stressful and make it harder to focus or sleep.
Common Causes
It is not known exactly what causes a person to "hear" sounds with no outside source of the noise. However, tinnitus can be a symptom of almost any ear problem, including:
		Ear infections
		Foreign objects or wax in the ear
		Hearing loss from loud noises
		Meniere's disease -- an inner ear disorder that involves hearing loss and dizziness
Alcohol, caffeine, antibiotics, aspirin, or other drugs can also cause ear noises.
Tinnitus may occur with hearing loss. Sometimes, it is a sign of high blood pressure, an allergy, or anemia. Rarely, tinnitus is a sign of a serious problem like a tumor or aneurysm.
