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.
 
I have lucid dreams very often in the last few years, I can not hear my T in my dreams, I have tried listening for it many times while asleep and dreaming.
 
Tinnitus can be seen with real time imaging. They first saw it while treating a man with Parkinsons. I would think this question would be answered by scanning an asleep T sufferer........ I wish someone would do that.

Tinnitus is no hallucination, whoever told you that is full of sh**

Tinnitus is noise that is in your head. When you are alseep, you don't notice them.
 
I had one dream where I smoked pot and my T spiked, but I woke up and it was as low as it usually is when I first wake up. Other than that, nope o.o
