Which type of tinnitus do you experience? Mine is a high pitched tonal tinnitus. Let me know, Matthew

[@soarthumbs1]

i have the hissing sound. Imagine a coffee pot hissing. I guess the tea kettle is closest.

[@stericnz]

Thank you for this channel. It has been very useful for me to help understand my tinnitus and in starting my journey in learning how to manage it. I experience tonal/screeching, somewhere between 4 & 7 kHz. Interestingly the "roaring" sound almost masks my tinnnitus!

[@ironox8480]

This channel has been an amazing help I can not begin to say how thankful I am for all the help this has given me. And yep seems Tonal high pitched. Thankfully this has allowed me to explain to others easier than, a really high pitched annoying sound.

[@ooXie1sh]

I have six distinct tinnitus tones. Three in each ear which vary in volume, Hz and character. One sounds like morse code. Another sounds like a broken modem. There's a tone that stays around 1600 Hz in the right (G on a piano). And a tone in both left and right ears almost out of audible range. Maybe around 13000 Hz? My tinnitus seems worthy of scientific study! Lol. Anybody else have similar?

[@DonBrowne]

Tea Kettle and hear almost to 10,000 hertz. I suspect the tinnitus pitch is right where the hearing loss occurs around 10k.

[@parrottm76262]

Mine is tonal at around 5K-6K. Keeps me falling asleep at times and leads to migraines at other times.

[@dwain415]

Mine is kind of hard to describe. Because it is different in both of my ears. My right ear, went Deaf after having a Covid shot. I had an autoimmune attack/response. I had an autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED). In my right ear, it sounds like an electronic pulse in sync with my heartbeat. More like a heart monitor in a hospital. If my heartbeat is fast, so does the sound. In my left ear, it is a steady mid to high pitch sound. Anyway, it can be stressful at times.

[@SteveNas530]

I couldn't even hear tonal with ear buds, volume at max.

[@BudgetwithAllisonSummer]

Tonel and tea kettle

[@billking772]

Mine is also high pitched tonal. I've had it since childhood, both ears.

[@GaryNichols50]

Mine seems most closely matched with teakettle. Strangely, I do not hear your "Tonal" sound at all. I'm on a MacBook with good speakers, so I don't believe there is anything wrong there. Can it be because that is my normal tinnitus hearing and I just don't perceive that sound as an external source? As for the pitch, my tinnitus seems to be in the 5k-6k range. However, at about 6.5k, the sound begins to fade and by 7.5k, I hear nothing at all. I'm going to go back to my comment your previous video and see how this compares to then.

[@sbukosky]

8,000-8,500 Hz. I have a tone generator app and have demonstrated what I hear to those interested. A coworker once exclaimed that was what he heard too. Others express amazement on how I live with it.

[@patriciamangless4512]

Electric. My tinnitus has two sounds. Very high in both ears and low electric/static sound in one ear and that is the ear that I have the most hearing loss in the bass sounds.

[@knives6683]

Hard to tell with the frequency bacause it didn't match any of the descriptions earlier on in the vid. However, mine is something around kettle and screeching at around 6000-8000Hz. It became apparent around the first vaccine and an MRI in Sept 23 has shown a small benign mass on my hearing nerve. My tinnitus has grown worse since then and it's pretty loud now 24/7. I will have another MRI at the end of March 24.

[@wearru]

Tonal, but 2 tones a high D and high G, left ear only. It feels like some ranges of frequencies are different to hear and i am having problems telling which direction a sound originated

[@paulhooper5551]

Mine is about 8500 mostly in my left ear .

[@wydopnthrtl]

Holy cow.... I couldn't even hear "tonal". I had to turn the volume way up to hear it.

[@rpclaire]

It seems to be around 8khz-9khz.

[@elizabetharthur3195]

I have 2 different ones. I believe one is tonal and maybe roaring is the other. It's constant and 24/7. The only time I can get any relief is when I'm asleep. Mine change in between a flatline sound and crickets & cicadas. It's just awful. If I can't find relief soon I believe I will end up in the nuthouse. I have TMJ too so I'm sure that doesn't help it. I've had mine for about 462 days and it's just Horrible! I don't know how I am supposed to live with this for the rest of my life? I've almost wished I'd go deaf...But if it isn't my ears and it's in my brain would I still hear it if I were deaf? Mine seems to be focused on the right side and it's very hard to focus on anything anymore. It's affecting my thought process. Please Help! 😢

[@chrisk6488]

Stay strong please 💪🏻 You can beat it with good psychology.. We are almost 1 billion! ❤

[@janetstanland2015]

There are three tones that I can’t hear at all. Not sure if any of the other four match tbh. As for the pitch, probably around 2400……

[@elizabetharthur3195]

Oh and I'm not sure about the HZ thing but I'm thinking mine is between 6000 and 8000.

[@jakemurphy9536]

I don't know what type mine is. All I can say is it's loud and in different frequencies. When having a hearing test, some of the tones played match the tinnitus. That is confusing not to mention annoying. The only way I can cope with it is to keep my mind active.

[@7dman]

1680 Electrical Sound

[@WaynoGur]

Without my hearing aids, I can't hear anything beyond 4500 hz. With hearing aids about 6000 hz. I have a 110 dB loss at 6000 hz.

[@lildebify]

5k to 6

[@zanteboy]

Tonal at around 7,500 Hz

[@scharlener6401]

I've got screeching.

[@melaniep8425]

I couldn’t hear the tonal at all
