She sadly shares that it was about a decade ago when she got this persistent hissing sound in her ear and then eventually she lost the left ear's capability to hear. The hissing gradually changed to a squealing that became painful.  She also remembers how she would not be able to sleep and she'd just cry helplessly. The countless doctors locally and in Hershey, all of whom told her she couldn't be helped, disheartened her. A sound that covers or masks the noise in the ear is something that the masker does and this was something she discovered. And even for any man's money, this woman won't do without it.  The regular ringing or roaring in a person's ear is a condition known as tinnitus. A lot of people finds this as a lifelong affliction.

It is highly recommended to consult an otolaryngologist or an audiologist once in a while as they can rule out causes that can be medicated and cured. It is not always that drug treatment works for all the ones who suffer from it. Xanax is found to be a bit more successful and this is a fresh treatment.  A masker would emit noise that will down the tinnitus and this is what other experts would advise patients to use. Actually, the hearing aid whose models resemble small radios also features this masker. These causes, once ruled out means that patients can't do anything else but must learn to live with such a condition.
