After reading your story I must say you have quite a resilient soul to be able to deal with it in such a good way. I have Tinnitus and when I got it (after going to a bar - music was real loud and I didn't think I would need ear plugs at a bar) I basically cried like a little baby for about 4 days before getting my composure back and getting on with my life. I could not imagine life without sound. Seems like you dealt with it quite well.

What is your opinion of the more recent Hoover wind tunnel vacuums? The ones that have a canister and a washable filter - like this.

They worth the money? Worthless? Any better uprights for that kind of $$?

Cool - I think I always have had the WUB WUB WUB as long as I remember - but it was only if one ear was completely covered by my pillow. The Tinnitus was real bad though. Thought I was going insane. I now sleep with a loop recording of raindrops on a window to get to sleep, otherwise - its NO sleep. 0_0. Its real nice that you have your family supporting you. Haven't had much here so I tend to keep it to myself.
