I usually go to bed about an hour before him, so i can put the radio on, If i wake up in the night and don't go straight back to sleep,i usually end up getting up. Some days i don't know how I will put up with for ever more !

We will see.I may be tottering along the landing at 2 in the morning into the spare bed lol.

	It drives me mad too. :( My left ear has a high pitched whine which I can hear over the sound of the TV and in the quiet of the night it can be awful. Sue

	I read there is no cure. Only distraction, such as playing back ground noises. I have it in both ears and it's very loud at the moment, as I have a cold. Been shouting a bit at work today!

	I too have the dreaded noises , but when I had lazer treatment on my eyes, some time later I suddenly realised the noises had stopped, I had two days free, its come back,but I wonder how it sorted it even for a short time. I am going to tell the eye clinic when I go again.....very strange ,but most welcome..... Jean x

	I have a little pair of headphones and either play music or have the radio on all night, other noise distracts the mind from the buzzing.

Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 3,570 Send Message	I could do with something like wireless speakers that cound be attached to the headboard,but they are all expensive which I done mind if they will work. The problem i would find with a pillow speaker is I sleep with my arm under the pillow ,and i'm very restless as well,so I don't know if it would work ?
