Poll: Noise-Induced Tinnitus: What Is the Sound of Your Tinnitus?

[Tinniger]

A sound made by the air escaping from a punctured tire

That is my main sound, too.

53:21 for hissing, an 10 cicadas.
From this point of view it is in most cases complete nonsense to determine a tinnitus frequency. Because in most cases tinnitus has no frequency at all, just as white noise has no frequency.
Do cicadas have a frequency?
Nevertheless, tinnitus experts try to determine a tinnitus frequency, and they look surprised and sceptical when you report that your tinnitus is a hiss and a cicada and not a beep.....

Did "tinnitus experts" try to determine your tinnitus frequency?

Maybe some new member could make a vote...

I haven't bothered finding out the frequency of my tinnitus, but in my left ear it's very high pitched like a faulty light fitting, tone in the center of my head is a bit lower, my right ear is lower again... all tonal, no hissing.
