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

Musical

@kaffando @caity high pitched squeal. Often 2 pitches though, and they can get interact because they are only slightly different and don’t hold the same pitch constantly

Yep, I know that one. Ugh. That changing pitch thing, it's so odd. So bloody frustrating.

@kaffando @stufromoz Squeals, then nothing. A complete blank in one ear for a while. On the same side as the worst trigeminal neuralgia (but predating it, which also makes sense, given the MRI results.) occasionally get something similar in the other ear, suspect that has something to do with TMJ as well.

Oh, yes. I get trigem neuralgia at times as well, not sure that it makes it any worse though. Will take note of that next time.
