Tinnitus sounds on the web - share what we hear with your family/friends!

[jaylogs]

I had posted this link in another message thread, but I decided to create a new topic. This webiste, which is from a tinnitus version of the ANA website (all things tinnitus).  Check this out, and share with your friends and family the joys of what we go through.  My sound is kind of like the tea kettle they have on there.  I pump the volume up to mimik how loud it is at the time....  Anyways, try it out! Take care all!

Jay, 

That is awesome!! I am a combo of screeching & electricity!!!  YUCK...

That was interesting.  I'm a combination of tea kettle (a little tea pot...) and buzzing.

Thought maybe it was also a hearing test, couldn't hear #2 even with my hearing aids in until I cranked up the volume.

Sending the website address to friends and family.

Hi;

  In children, certain types of Ota Acoustic Emission testing allow an Aud. to hear the tinnitus a child is hearing, so, if your child has behavior problems and the reason unknown, it could be tinnitus driving their frustration.

Wow, I didn't realize there were all those varieties of tinnitus.  I fall under the "Tea Kettle" sound.

I downloaded those tinnitus sounds onto my droid phone.  I can share them with family,friends and doctors whenever I want.  Sometimes I play it at the dinner table. My kids hate it.  I'm a little tea pot!  I never stop whistling/buzzing.  It really helps to be able to let others know what we have to live with.  I told my doc that it reminds me a little of the movie A Beautiful Mind with Russel Crow.  He was a schizophrenic and had these people he saw and heard that weren't really there.  He had to learn to ignore them and put them behind him/at the back of his mind. They still followed him whereever he went.  At least we aren't seeing a swarm of bees chasing us all the time.  It just sounds like they are there. I guess it could always be worse.

Great link Jay!  My husband has bilateral tinnitus for years and I just went through the different sounds to see what his was like. His is most like the buzzing noise and mine which only occurs randomly is most like static.

I came across this helpful thread and thought I'd share an additional option to mimic the sounds of tinnitus. My tinnitus is the ringing variation. I found this free Online Tone Generator at http://onlinetonegenerator.com/  that allows you to vary the frequency in Hertz and generate a tone. I have determined that the tone at 5000 hertz is almost an exact duplicate of the ringing in my ear most days.

Hope someone else will find it helpful.

That's a cool link!! Just a note to all that you need to be using this on the Firefox web browser. I max out at 6500 hz (I tried it with my 22 year old daughter, she maxed out at 17000 hz! WOW!)
