Hi MarkX, I saw your private message in my inbox but for some reason there is no reply button that I could use to answer you. Anyway, my tinnitus is only in the right ear ( wax impacted one) and the sound is coming from the ear, not head. It is not somatic. In the first month is was this high pitched eeeeee sound, and then it became like a bunch of crickets are having a party in my head.
