Interesting suggestion. But no, I don't think so, and I'm having a really hard time describing why. It sounds like a pure sine wave, but it's so high I have a hard time relating it to any real auditory input.

Also, interestingly, since I started focusing on this it has gotten less intense.



How high does your range of hearing go. We can at least narrow it down to somewhere above that.


Just under 8kHz. The tinnitus frequency seems like its about about a major fifth higher, so ~12kHz.

I also notice in general that it's much more pronounced after I've been wearing earbuds, even if the volume is turned way down.


Jeez you're range of hearing is capital F Fucked. Did you go to school next to an airport and live backstage at a heavy metal concert? No disrespect.


No, but I'm 58 years old. Hearing loss is just a Thing That Happens sometimes.

Remind me to avoid getting old.


Damn, why didn't I write myself a note?
