Live at 9: Mayor Jim Strickland, Watercooler Wednesday & Tinnitus

Mayor Jim Strickland

Memphis police and fire unions are more than halfway to their goal of getting a half-cent sales tax increase on the ballot to create funding for public safety.

Ringing in your ears? You may have tinnitus

It impacts one out of every five people.

Dr. Casie Keaton is an audiologist in Collierville.
