Thanks :-) Maybe its just that I've finally got the knack of giving
that impression after years of practice.

Me too. Really bothered me at first, but it got me involved in
studying and other things so in some ways I got a lot out of it.
Mine started incrementally with 3 scuba diving sessions; not deep. In
my case, I think the gradual pressure change involved must mean some
simple physical damage, perhaps to the oval window at the cochlear end
of the ossicles.

Yes.
Some people have a terrible time.
Although in contrast I know someone who has had it constantly since
childhood. He can hear it whistling away in a buzy pub, above the
level of the conversation. He's had a good career & enjoys life, so it
doesn't seem to have held him back.
Another terrible thing is severe hyperacusis, where a tiny sound is
painfully loud. There's a site on the net, the hyperacusis network,
where they discuss that. Some awful conditions.

Anyway,
I got a leaking roof. Fixed it twice. Still leaking. Can't find
anything wrong with it. :-(
