I've had tinnitus as long as I can remember. Watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Elmer Fudd got hit over the head and he says "somebody answer that phone" or some such, I didn't get the joke so I asked my dad. He told me some people have ringing in their ears. I couldn't have been more than 7 and that was how I learned it was abnormal. I have always had poor hearing too. Don't know why to either of them.
