What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the name given to the condition of noises 'in the ears' and/or 'in the head' with no external source. Tinnitus noises are described variously as ringing, whistling, buzzing and humming.
The noise/s may be heard in one ear, both ears or in the middle of the head or it may be difficult to pinpoint its exact location. The noise may be low, medium or high-pitched. There may be a single noise or two or more components. The noise may be continuous or it may come and go.
What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus is not a disease or an illness, it is a symptom generated within a person's own auditory pathways. Although it is often assumed that tinnitus occurs as a result of disease of the ears, this is often not the cause. The precise cause of tinnitus is still not fully understood but is usually associated with some hearing deficits.
Who gets tinnitus?
Experiences of tinnitus are very common in all age groups, especially following exposure to loud noise, however, it is unusual for it to be a major problem. There is a widely held misconception that tinnitus is confined to the elderly, but various studies have shown that it can occur at any age, even quite young children. Mild tinnitus is common - about 10 per cent of the population have it all the time and, in up to one per cent of adults, this may affect the quality of their life.

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. – The U.S. Army Garrison Presidio of Monterey's Col. Paul W. Fellinger and Command Sgt. Maj. Andrew J. Wynn visit the construction site of the Presidio's new dining facility to speak with contractors and survey the progress of construction June 19. While on site, Fellinger spoke with construction workers on the progress of the new facility and took advantage of an offer to lend a hand in the demolition of some of the obsolete buildings scheduled for destruction that day. When completed near the end of 2015, the new facility will be able to accommodate and serve more than 1,300 personnel in just less than 90 minute, three times a day. The new 26,000 square-foot, one-story dining facility is being constructed to replace Combs Hall, built in 1966, which is currently operating at over capacity in support of service member students of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.

The Governor joined Lieutenant Governor Matt Denn, DSCYF Secretary Jennifer Ranji, Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services Director Susan Cycyk, Criminal Justice Council Chair Drew Fennell, Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware President George Krupanski and grant recipients to announce twelve schools and community organizations selected to receive funding to implement after school programming related to preventing youth violence and/or youth suicide. The funding is made available as part of the $2.2M approved by the General Assembly for DSCYF this year. The second round of funding is an outgrowth of the CDC Report recommending additional after school programming for Kent and Sussex Counties as a method of suicide prevention. This effort was part of Governor Markell’s budget initiative to expand youth access to after school and summer programming that would provide positive opportunities for activities for young people.

If small farmers receive training and the know-how to enter into markets, they will increase their income and have a better quality of life for their families.
