Arrow Search "Troi" Here, Posted Before I Knew the Term...

To those who can't relate to tinnitus: the hissing sound is like a TV set after the station has left the air. (Or between active stations). It never goes away. The hissing is much higher in frequency than that example.

Another ear condition (intermittent in my case) is known as Tensor tympani--another inner ear rushing-sound condition. I can simulate it by pressing my eyelids together as strongly as possible. One muscle in the inner ear is the culprit.

When it arrives "naturally", it is in response to a human being suffering an injury--even self-inflicted! It's not unlike like the condition suffered by Star Trek's counselor, Deana Troi, except it's not painful.

Like tinnitus, there is no cure.
