Don't you feel lucky when you get such an opportunity? All of a sueddn, time is not on your side while you are fumbling for the camera and praying you left it on a proper setting, but the sign of relief comes as you press the shutter before they bound away!

Hi my name is Paul and I think I may have this .Exactly the same way you are describing the sound that I one day just woke up with this cdnoition. One question I have is, how did you know that you damaged your inner ear? I have seen 3 doctors and they all have said that my ears look fine and there is no infection. This has been going on for about 10 months, off and on with my ears feeling clogged , but the humming in my ears started about less than 1 month ago.
