Excerpt
GWEN IFILL (Newshour): Now: the burden of living with a never-ending noise, a condition tone as tinnitus, also pronounced tinnitus, and what science is trying to do to make it easier to live with.
We have a report from the NewsHour's science correspondent, Miles O'Brien.
A warning for viewers with tinnitus: There are a couple of moments in this story where listening to it may cause or worsen ringing in your ears.
JAROM VAHAI, suffers from tinnitus: We're going to Bauer's IT. They're a green bus transportation company.
MILES O’BRIEN: Like any Marine sergeant worth his stripes, Jarom Vahai is always looking out for his brothers in arms.
JAROM VAHAI: And I have been bringing veterans to them with their resumes and setting them up on interviews.
MILES O’BRIEN: These days, he is on patrol near his home in San Francisco, his objective, jobs for unemployed veterans.
JAROM VAHAI: I treated it just like it was a mission, just like it was something that I was targeting, and I attacked.
(LAUGHTER)
MILES O’BRIEN: But Jarom has found one hill he cannot conquer: the incessant ringing in his ears. It's called tinnitus -- or tinnitus.
