I'm keen to learn about people living with #tinnitus

I have 4 types (in both ears):
- low hum
- high pitched squeal
- pulsatile
all the time, and also musical when I'm tired.

(People ask me why I'm angry all the time....sigh)

If you have tinnitus, what is it like?

Boosts appreciated!

Pulsatile
16.9%
Musical
4.6%

Fedilab does not let me vote. Two types: low hum and high squeek (the old TV sound when off but on power). Mostly left, not as bad right. Worse when tired

Sorry the vote thing doesn't work! Great description of the TV sound thing, ha! Yep, tiredness really seems to make it worse, doesn't it? So frustrating.

Sometimes trying to sleep is hard. Everything is quiet and then you notice the high pitch

@jerry1970 @kaffando Yep, the old tv thing! I've been walking around the house trying to hunt down a culprit many times... Until it dawned on me that it was equally load, even when I turn around or cover my ears.
