Sounds of TinnitusThere are many sounds of tinnitus,
so it makes it a little bit difficult to explain.
And those that experience these sounds could probably tell
you that they experience a range of sounds. As you learn
more about this condition, the more likely you will be able to
understand the causes of the sounds of tinnitus and why some
hear completely different sounds than others.
One of the most mysterious things about tinnitus is the
sounds that sufferers hear. There are so many different
sounds that sometimes doctors and specialists have a hard time
determining how it should be treated. Some people may
hear different sounds of tinnitus than others, or the same
person can experience different sounds at any given time.
The sounds of tinnitus can be so problematic because the
sufferer can feel as if they are going crazy or losing their
mind. For those that don’t know much about tinnitus
hearing the sounds of tinnitus can be scary because no one else
hears them.
Some of the sounds that people with tinnitus experience can
be ringing, hissing, whizzing, rushing, buzzing, chirping,
pulsing, and other sounds.
Depending on what kind of sounds of tinnitus you experience,
it may seem like that high pitched noise that sometimes occurs
with electronic equipment like TVs or computers.
Sometimes it may even seem like running water or glass
breaking. Some people have even had sounds like
chainsaws.
Another sound that some sufferers complain about is a
pulsating noise. This is called pulsatile tinnitus.
The type of the noise that you are hearing can often help you
figure out what is causing your tinnitus. So the better
able you are to describe the sounds of tinnitus you are
experiencing, the more likely you will be able to get help for
the cause.
The noises caused by tinnitus can also differ in
intensity. Some tinnitus sufferers only have mild
background sounds where others have louder sounds.
Various studies continue to try to find out why some experience
varying levels of volume.
Some sufferers also only experience sounds in one ear and
others experience the noises in both. It can sometimes
even start in one ear and end up in both. Some of the
underlying causes of certain sounds can be based on stress,
personal health, what is causing the tinnitus, and what type it
is.
You may want to consider talking about your symptoms with
your medical doctor. Your health professional will be
able to lead you to resources and possible therapies depending
on the type of tinnitus you have. Sound can even be used
in therapy, as in tinnitus sound wave treatment.
