What Tinnitus frequency

[Halen12]

How do you tell what your tinnitus frequency is.

By "frequency", Halen", do you mean as in radio frequency? Or how often per month or per hour? We all experience T in different ways. But I'm not sure I understand your question.

Yes radio i see people saying my T is such a level of frequency meaning pitch i guess not how often

See Daverussels response.

There are several resources on the web that will give you an approximate frequency.

[Happyrosie in reply to daverussell]

daverussell, you’ve often commented on this site - very helpfully I might add - but I don’t understand the reference to frequency: where would I find it if I looked? I mean, what website?

[daverussell in reply to Happyrosie]

I didn't particularly recommend one as everyone's tinnitus is different and it might be worth trying different ones. E.g. search "tinnitus frequency matching".

A caveat though is that listening to them may cause a spike.

[Happyrosie in reply to daverussell]

Thanks, I’d heard about all this but didn’t understand the term. I’m so lucky that I haven’t - as yet - felt the need for any intervention even though the T sometimes seems to drown out conversations at home.

I have read that sometimes audiologists will feed different pitches of sounds until you tell them it is the same as your tinnitus.

They can then tell you the frequency

How does it help to know the frequency of your T ?
