Do You Think You Have a "Regular, Ordinary" Tinnitus?

[Tinniger]

I often read that people described their tinnitus as "non-typical".

What do you think about "your tinnitus"?

I wonder a little about the low response to this topic. Do the tinnitus sufferers here assume that they all have the same disease with the same cause and effect, or does the fact that they have an ear noise primarily unite tinnitus sufferers?
I like to compare this with headaches. They all have the symptom of headaches, but in very different forms. And with very different causes.
Why is there so little interest...

Hello, hope youre doing well.

I don't know if my T is normal, because i have never heard anyone else's T. Mine reacts to coffee and high stress activities. Hope this helps =]

A major problem for a tinnitus sufferer is the clarification of the question of whether one has such a tinnitus as perhaps someone with an acute blast trauma (shot without hearing protection), or whether one perhaps has something completely different.
It is demoralizing that one cannot answer such a simple question even with expert help.

No. Mine is stable, and I almost never get spikes + stress and anxiety don't effect mine......that seems pretty unnatural compared to everybody else on here.

No, mine reacts to a lot of sounds and is so high pitched at 14 kHz, it is a horrific sound to hear anywhere. If my 14 kHz tinnitus got severe it would be hell on earth.

It would be a lot of help for many of those affected if they knew that they have a "normal" tinnitus.

In my opinion, for example, the massive influence (in the direction of deterioration) on the traction of somatic structures of the head is absolutely not normal. In my opinion, all these "somatic structures" are sensitively innervated by the N. trigeminus.

A tinnitus that "beeps in the ear at a certain frequency" is something completely different from the hissing of the nerves that I have.

The idea that tinnitus is a uniform phenomenon is, in my opinion, complete nonsense.

My tinnitus is 'reactive' so I'm happiest in quiet environments when the tinnitus is also fairly quiet - when there is a TV/radio or other background noise my tinnitus gets louder - I was speaking about tinnitus the other day to my sister's 'other half' who also has tinnitus, but he said he prefers background noise as it 'masks' his tinnitus, but for me background noise makes it worse not better.
