My ears have frequency shifting white noise that is not diagnosed as tinnitus. Some days, especially when a storm is coming , it becomes unmanageable &relentless. Going to sleep is my only remedy.\n\nI took a sailing course &went far out into the Gulf waters away from land , the noise for the first time in 25 years STOPPED , until we got close to land again when it immediately returned.\n\nFor the past 4 years I traveled the U.S. with a RV/ 17,000 miles. In the final year of travel, I would make way to drive AROUND major cities ... as it became apparent while approaching large hubs, and without visual of a tower approaching, my chest would tighten &I would have to pull off the interstate... when feeling \"better\" to proceed down the road , the culprit would appear on the horizon: large communication towers on the outskirts of cities : the ones with huge white circular discs seemingly would give me what I can only describe as a sudden onset pseudo heart attack. I had to quit driving anywhere near these towers &now I do not travel , for many reasons...but those towers are the main reason for staying off the roads near cities.\n\nI am thankful someone is looking into this.
