    The Sound of TMJ Related Tinnitus?

    In one ear it sounds like wind chimes or putting your ear up to a shell. But in the other it sounds like a car's break squealing mixed with static.

    The Current Year Is 2018

    I agree that the lack of treatments for tinnitus is a shame. I hate seeing the post of a desperate person whose life is being completely ravaged by tinnitus and there is nothing I can say to console them other than the standard "there is no cure so you will have to get used to it".

    If I Can Turn Ringing Noise On/Off at Will, Is This Still Considered Tinnitus?

    Is My Tinnitus Still Temporary?

    Maybe he told you it was mild because he did not want to freak you out? I think T that is 65 decibels is pretty rare since 65 decibels is about as loud as a voice.

    65 decibels? What did the audiologist say when you got that measured? I want to get the volume of my T measured, I doubt it is any more than 40 decibels.

    Sort of. I can read comfortable in the car, a room with lots of background noise, or outdoors. It is difficult for me to read in silence now.
