All the days the ringing, hissing and another tone that wavers in my left ear is depressing and causes anxiety along with the thick discharge I have to suck out. What can you do? One of my focus distractions was playing the guitar. It's so loud it affects my hearing. Poeple wonder why I don't do much and I'm grumpy. It's a psychosomatic symptom from the meds or depression. I may have to sell my house and go into assisted living.
