Highest Tinnitus Pitch Possible?

[Niko]

Of experience how high pitched can the tinnitus state be permanently?

I have had low pitch for over 15 years, started high, but I fought it. During these years I could only hear it in a silent room, when sleeping, and only if I was thinking about it, as the brain somehow ignored it, as it could.

Recently I damaged it for the worse, and could hear it almost in noisy environments, for sure when going to bed.

Then another drawback, now I hear it in noisy environments, if I'm in a room and someones chats, or the TV is on. But I think I'm getting better, by the day.

My question is, what is the highest pitch you can develop, through your own experiences?

I was about to post that question as well. I have had tinnitus for around 20 years (36) now and it got really loud. The volume I started with was about same as yours. My tinnitus has increased around 3-4 times over the 20 years, I could not imagine its was possible to have constant screaming noise at this level in someones mind if I didn't have it myself. I can hear mine over everything, only thing that blocks it out is white noise at very loud level (8/10 volume level). Doctors are useless, I'm getting scared as i don't know where this will end. I could get used to the low-medium even high but i'm scared its going to be so loud i wont be able to cope. I know there have been several people who committed suicide because of the loudness...life is not worth living like this any more. I'm noticing myself being more and more depressed and not caring, If it keep getting louder i might have no choice but to check out...god help us all.

I was scared to death myself. The noise seems to psychologically affect us and lead us into a depressive state.

Luckily since my spike this Saturday the noise has started to deteriorate. The fists days I was being woken up 5 times a night by a loud squeaking noise, but these nights it has lost its power. That noise is really awful and hard to live with I can imagine if it was there 24/7.

So now it's a battle between the squeaking noise and vibrating jungle humming noise, which is not being a pain, and is muck lower in strenght. Many times the humming noise is one level stronger the squeaking noise and that is a relieve, but the squeaking noise does everything to overcome it.

There has been some days gone since I damaged myself more this Saturday, I have been taking homeopathic meds which I think has helped me.
