I developed this strange ringing in the ears around Christmas time that would simply not go away. After a thorough analysis by leading experts we've thankfully determined that it is nothing more than that. I have tinnitus, which produces a mild ringing in my ears that is really just a bit of a nuisance.

The doctor thought it best to "nip this in the bud" while I'm relatively young so it doesn't become a chronic problem.

So I have six treatment 90-minute appointments over the next two weeks that involve hooking electrodes up to my ears and giving me low-grade electric shocks and exposure to infrared-radiation to make the ringing go away.

Thanks to an open wireless network somewhere in this medical building, I can sit here and work — or play on Apple's Photobooth!
