If it looks like I am going to get a shot I put the other one in. I have tinitus, my ears hiss 24/7 except when I drink whisky or a martini, then it stops for a couple of hours. Seems to me that if imbibing alcohol stops the noise, some pharmaceutical company could develop a pill that would have the same affect.
