- Cause of Tinnitus
- Wish I knew. Several theories. No solutions yet.
I was told my tinnitus is a hallucination; in response to losing hearing in the 4000 hz range, my brain creates a hallucination in that same range to compensate for the loss ( thanks brain, I'd be better without it). It is constant, never wavers, and I have had it for 18 months.
I guess there is no way to tell, but I am honestly curious if it continues when I sleep. Does anybody know this? I wonder because what I believe is that overall, tinnitus contributes greatly to general fatigue and if it continues when you are asleep, it affects the your bodies number one time for recuperation.
I tried a masking machine and used to run youtube videos for awhile but found them really annoying when I woke up in the middle of the night. Now I just find a podcast I like and set a timer for it to go off in about 45 minutes and I'm usually asleep by then.
