According to dictionary.com (to mention only one dictionary, but I can check others)
disease
[dih-zeez] IPA Syllables
1.
a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or systemof the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmentalerrors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity,or
unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment.
Any person who has Tinnitus HAS a disordered or incorectly functioning organ, part , structure or system of the body, therefore HE HAS A DISEASE! Therefore T sufferers are suffering from a DISEASE!
Whether that organ, part, structure or system of the body is the external ear, middle ear, inner ear, auditory nerve, brain stem, auditory system, muscles, or any another part of the body, the T sufferer has a DISEASE.
A healthy person doesn't have Tinnitus. According to simple logic,
if a person has Tinnitus, he is not healthy, he has a disease, he is ILL.
The fact that doctors don't know WHICH is the exact part of the body that doesn't function correctly in each case is due to the fact that medicine is not advanced enough, and the fact that medicine is not advanced enough to identify the part of the body that doesn't function properly shouldn't lead to
DENIAL (!!!!!) that the T SUFFERER HAS A DISEASE. That is extremely unethical on scientists/doctors' part.
So we have demonstrated that
there is always a disease associated to each T case.
The demonstration that T sufferers have a disease is done.
(And it's not an ordinary disease, it's a disease that makes living resemble with hell (for some), a disease that is for some disabling, a disease that determines some sufferers to take their own lives!!! So the disease should be in the top of the most serious once and receive proper funds for research and the sufferers should be treated accordingly)
What are the problems left?
The disease doesn't have a name.
That is because the diseases receive names from the doctors/scientists and they didn't do that yet because they don't have enough information about the disease.
A disease that exists for sure shouldn't wait for scientists to receive a name until they have enough information about it, which can take hundreds of years. We are living now. We don't have time to wait for scientists. Let us, the suffers, give it a name to the disease that surely exists.
Let's call it, for example,
"Disease that causes tinnitus".
Is there a law that forbids us to do that? That we must work on. Here I think we should get organized and go to the Court for Human rights.
What do you say, T sufferers, do you agree so far?
Other problems: T rarely shows on tests. It is hard for somebody to prove he has Tinnitus. Sometimes it shows in EEG, sometimes in functional MRI. In my country of residence for example, there isn't a single functional MRI.
Oh, God, I get sick only when I think about that...
