Re[2]: Phantom ringing



Allright, I'll cop to the mysterious arrival of the big TONE... I had to 
think about that one for a while though. It has appeared from time to time.

I'd take a very uneducated guess that it has a lot to do with fatigue. I've
had swimming spots and lost useful vision from time to time and became 
concerned... My eye doc basically said, "Give your eyes a rest, before you
strain them!" I bet the same message is true concerning ear fatigue. Take
a rest before more damage occurs.

So a lot of people have chimed in with "YES - me too" - is there anyone
here that doesn't experience this?

And does anyone have any idea what the cause is?
