Which tone matches your tinnitus the best? Matthew
Mine was about 70,000 or slightly more which is a constant tone I hear all the time. Sometimes louder, sometimes softer.
About 4,000 Hz.
It's around 12,000 Hz - 16, 000 Hz
8k is where the sound matches with the noise in my head.
8k
to all the people out there facing tinnitus. i pray that all our tinnitus get healed permanently and we live without any ringing voice ever afer. Amen
Amen
Ameen
Amen
amen
amen
4000Hz definitely helped me, I have tinnitus since college days and it's been a long journey for me to find a way to almost entirely lose ringing in my ears, shirlest made my life easier and I don't even know what happened I just feel better
16000 hz
4000 Hz set off my dog.
8000Hz seemed to be the sweet spot. Amazing, everything when almost silent until you started speaking again.
Same
My hearing aid cured my tinnitus immediately. I cried from sheer joy and I could hear all the high pitch sounds like birds. It was an amazing day for me.
I am very happy for your achievement. If you dont mind could you please tell me the steps you took in order to get it and what device do you use. Thank you and have a blessed day
@@davidaron4927 I got my ears tested and they found I had hearing loss on the high frequencies, low frequency was fine. When you have hearing loss, your ears try to compensate and so you can develop tinnitus. They said I could look at an hearing aid so I did. I tried all the hearing aids ranging from €200 to €4000. I found the €200 as effective as the €4000 and that’s what I bought. I don’t know the name of the one I have but I will have a look and come back to you. All I can say is, when I have it on my tinnitus is gone and I can hear soo much more. It make me soo happy 😊
I am very happy for you! Could you clarify how it helped your tinnitus? Do you still hear ringing after taking the hearing aids off?

10 years into this syndrome, had a really hard time the first year or so.. got depressed, lost sleep, lost my mind. As time went on i learned to have some coping mechanisms.
Just found this video and im hovering right around 8,000 as many others. I wanted to NOT read the comments first. But now feel some comfort(as hard as it to say) that there are others out there "like me". For the longest time I felt like i was on an island, with a band of whistle blowers and chimes.
4000Hz in one ear and 8000Hz in the other. It was amazing to hear near quiet when the tones matched!
omg 4000 and 8000 are so loud, good luck man..
Left ear only, 8000 around that freq
I'm at around 4000 as well.. it's rough...
I'm at 4000 & 8000 too!
Geez I knew it was loud but I'm 8000 in both ears and its been like this since I was 14/15
My tinnitus is at about 8000hz. It wakes me up at night and makes me anxious and depressed. It was really interesting listening to this! Thanks
Did you get the jab? Universal antidote on rum ble detox
@@heatherhall3452huh?
Your brain will adapt in 5 or so years. Just learn how to live with it. That's all
hi there. how ya doin? i struggle with similar responses. im flabbergasted at how many other ppl have had their silence stolen. Dont let this condition hold u down. We are amazing humans and can learn to adapt. i dont feel so alone seeing all these 800's lol. thinking about u and wishing u silence
Same Hz here Susan, feeling the same way for many years now. I don't notice it when I'm in the shower, and there's one specific TH-cam video of sound therapy that helps me when it's especially bad that I can play on my phone or computer. th-cam.com/video/nKo4jYDO9FQ/w-d-xo.html
I've had tinnitus all of my life. I have no memory of not hearing it, so it's never really bothered me. I hear 3 different sounds, but the tonal sound is the loudest for me. The pitch at 8000hz was a very close match. Pretty interesting as I've never had anyone do this test before.
my ears both are 8000h that’s when they disappeared
This is quite interesting, thanks! My more annoying tones are , I guesstimate to be between 800 hz - 1500 hz. I no longer hear tones around 6000. The extremely low tones are so soothing I wish I could have a long low tone App. Even brown noise & delta although helpful are not really low enough for me.
Are you connected spiritually at all?
@@mrsfmcool Yes, I'm a spiritual person. Why do you ask?
@gracepaquette7867, there are several apps now for this. I use tone generator from Google play.
watching this video made my tinnitus from my sinus infection go away thanks
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching,Matthew
@@HearingTracker I MENI JE PRESTAO PROKLETI TIINITUS POSLE SLUSANJA OVOG VIDEA,MNOGO TI HVALA !!!❤❤❤
I have it from a sinus infection how long does it last? I’m at 2 weeks now
I was so skeptical and then around 16000 went silent
I was so weirded out I grabbed my airpods and then boom it still worked
Thank you so much!!!
8,000 to 16,000. Thanks that was helpful. It actually stopped it for a few seconds while listening.
Soo true. It helped mine go away too! Same spot❤ I can here 14k they say this is angels speaking to us curious 🧐 🤔
My tinnitus is a cacophony of frequencies. It's difficult to match so many. If you can imagine a warm summer evening beside a pond. The tinnitus is an exact match for every insect and tree frog you hear, complete with the quavers, wavers, and staccatos. It's incredible what you learn to live with .
Damn. Now I don't feel so bad!
This is the same for me. And with this test, I was not hearing anything over 8khz
Agree, my tinnitus is not described by a simple note or frequency. The closest example I can give is a bunch of Cicada insects at night!
That’s how mine is multiple pitches with the whirring sound of night bugs with some clicking thrown in, it never stops, it never stops. I took alieve for about a week for arthritis pain in my knees and it made the tinnitus unbearably loud I’ve forgotten what total silence sounds like now. Mine started in the mid seventies working on ventilation fans on SSBN’S.
@@LawnD4rt Mine is the same, with multiple sounds, like insect noises. I can't hear anything past 9500.
I am 65 years old with a bachelors degree in music-I played trumpet throughout high school and college. In your test, I could hear all the tones up to 13kHz, and nothing beyond. However, the tones from 6.5kHz to 7kHz transitioned from the left ear to the right ear, and then back to the left ear by the time it reached 8kHz. The tone that closely matched my constant tinnitus tone was 8kHz. My tones are both airy and piercing at the same time. Constant, never turns off, and louder if I consume alcohol, which I rarely do.
Lucky for me, the tones are not dissonant; that would drive me mad. heh!
This is fascinating. Mine is about 10,000+Hz. I was in a hydroplane car crash and hit my head 3 times while violently spinning counterclockwise and bouncing into a guardrail a few times. It affected speech, language, and executive functioning (cognitive) and also caused proprioception and vestibular issues. That was July 10, 2023, and it is now April 3, 2024, and although I'm much better, I'm still recovering from the TBI - which includes this ringing!!! I LOVE being able to share this with family and friends so they can hear it, too (like my Speech/Language Pathologist!). Thank you so much for this!
I did not expect mine to be at around 12-15kHz, very helpful
Do you know what it means to have it that high? I’m around 14-15kHz I think and unsure as to what that means
Mine actually went higher than your choices. I could always hear mine going on over the sounds that were playing. It actually vibrates my eardrum at times. Mine tends to go on for awhile then completely stops, it also tends to create a conversation like effect where the sounds vary up and down high and low. Also has more than one frequency at a time, I can hear up to 3 frequencies going on at the same time. Never a boring moment...haha.
About 8000Hz for me, but I think there may be two slightly different tones. Had it since childhood. Was in my teens before I tried to describe it to my friends. Back then I used to think it was the literal sound of silence . Took a few more years before I ever heard of tinnitus and realized the sound wasn’t ambient.
I too thought it was the sound of silence my who life!
Around 8000 for Me
Same for me! I’m only 18 now had it a few years and I think mine are two different tones my left is definitely around 8000hz and my right probably around 4-6000 it’s hard to pin point! Any suggestions for relief?
is it bad if its about 5000 hertz?
8000 for me too. I was in Jr high before I realized not everyone had an internal ringing noise.
What kind of medical magic is this!!!!! Wow!!!!! It's like it shattered the ringing in my ears as I searched for the tone of my tinnitus. Thank you, so much!!!!! FINALLY, some relief.
11000 - 11500Hz matches my tinnitus sound. Drives me crazy at times, but after 20+ years, I have learned to mostly ignore it. Easier said than done sometimes.
10k for me. Was a lovely second of peace. 🙂
14k-15k sounded spot on. Neat to know what frequency I’m constantly listening to 😂
Hey Quinn! Thanks for the feeeback. Matthew
4000 to 8000hz is where my tinnitus vanish
Mine is very close to yours being at approximately 13-14k must be very annoying in silent places such as when you get to sleep for you aswell.
@@Nicolas-sf6je can u sleep now
Mine sounds like the 2000. Thank you for the info. I'd really like to see a dr, but money is an issue
Thank you for that. I’m at about 8000hz. Your list of concerns….changing sounds, yes. Severe anxiety, yes. Disrupts sleep, yes. I can also feel it, not just hear it. Been to different ENTs, chiropractors, acupuncturists, orthopedic surgeon (maybe it was pinched nerve in my neck?) even rheumatologist. No help.
Same everyone I go to tells me I’m normal when I’m clearly not
I can feel it slso,, sometimes when I don't hear it I still feel it
6000 - 7000 and never any relief
@@Seamen7229 I hear a low hum which vibrates through the floor and body. Everyone thinks I'm nuts, but I'm not.
@@TerryTheNewsGirl me too
16000 that is insane! I suffered with a perforated eardrum a few times in my left ear and had glue ear with gromits as a child. My tinnitus hasn’t stopped for almost three years.
15k for me haha
@@KronosOnPC same here 7months now sometimes is also waveing too.
@@Growzy101 oooo waving? That sounds crappy to deal with. My ringing is feeling extra loud today.
And it will never stop. Sorry mate :(
You high end people don’t have hearing loss, if you could hear those frequencies still, so that’s not a usual sort of tinnitus and maybe should be investigated for cause. TMJ, neck pathology etc. Could be a chiropractor could fix you, but don’t let them go ‘cracking’ your neck , there’s a risk of vascular tearing when they do that. Talk to them about that and what they intend to do to help you. I got this from TH-cam video about non hearing loss tinnitus, and another about the risk of neck cracking, and put it together!
8000Hz. The quiet was amazing!!
While trying to educate myself about tinnitus, I found your videos, in particular "Match your Tinnitus Frequency" very helpful. Unfortunately, I live in the USA and cannot come to your clinic for consultation. I have been wearing hearing aids for about 15 years and not considered my progressing hearing loss as a particular burden. I am 84. According to the latest audiograms, I am at the stage of severe hearing loss. My tinnitus became gradually noticeable over the last 3-4 months, and was diagnosed by my ENT doctor as the result of recurring sinus infections following my getting Covid-19 in Sept 2022. It is intermittent, and most noticeable when I wake up at night with a roaring variable volume, sounding similar to when being a passenger on an airplane and the pilot keeps changing the engine thrust prior to landing. After a while, it becomes less or not noticeable. Thank you for your excellent videos which will help me when discussing my case with a specialist.
Mine was matched sometime after 3000. I have had it all of my life. One thing to note, on 2 occasions in my adult lifetime, my tinnitus completely stopped, for a few seconds, and I experienced complete silence.
...and you still savour that memory. I had a complete silence for half an hour a couple of years ago. I couldn't move, I was so amazed by the silence ! Unluckily it came back and never left again.
@@Lulisette you’re absolutely right, I remember the two occasions well, it was something that I had never heard, or not heard as it was. If you’re experience was anything like mine, it stopped you in your tracks.
Had my hearing checked. Prefect hearing & I’m 69 so that’s saying something.
Could hear it at 8000 hz.
Only in my left ear.
Changes frequency. On a scale of 1-10, it stays about a 4. Never goes away. When it’s bad, it’s an 11. So loud, it hurts.
Even with a fan & sound machine running, it can keep me awake.
By the way, thanks for your channel & the info it provides.
Hey CL, thank you for taking the time to comment and sharing some handy tips. I hope you manage to stay on top of it. Matthew
Wow this is exactly me too. The same frequency and everything. In my left ear too. Sometimes I can't always tell because it's so loud in my head. The doctor said my ears are perfect too. I'm only 35 so I'm not too thrilled about dealing with this forever. My doctor says that quitting smoking is the only way to resolve it. But it's terrible. It driving me crazy. It never stops.
Mine started almost immediately after 2nd Astra shot last year. Bells Palsy, tinnitus in the right ear and now both. Right is about 8000, and left a little lower. Doc obviously said pure coincidence!
I’m sorry to hear that FarangMoto. Thanks for watching and sharing, Matthew
I think it is listed as one of the possible side effects, if only we had known, so sorry, I know how awful it is. Stay strong, I have found deep breathing exercises help, audio books, singing regardless of how tone deaf I am!!! It releases good feelings inside.....
@@LA-go6pp Yes, asked my doctor in Thailand for a report just to link the dates together. Obviously the doctor will not say it was the cause. But I have a record at least of when it started. Along with the facial paralysis at the same time. I see there are more reports of similar issues. Seems I was quite lucky! But now I have 3 sounds. A middle sound which is like the volume being tuned up and down constantly.
4:42 is mine
Right about there for me as well.
Whoa, my hearing is dead from 12K on. That's eye opening. Thank you.
Strangely, just listening to this makes my very slight ringing disappear, makes it that much harder to pinpoint though
Super interesting!
Something like this happened to me six month into my unilateral tinnitus after a sudden hearing loss . The audiologist at the time play all different tones and at some point my tinnitus went very low that i could barely hear it for a while. That was more that 3 years ago. Nowadays my tinnitus is multi-tone and bilateral kind of nasty. Finding the pitch of your tinnitus is only useful for those with a clearly mono-tone which is easier to treat.
I found the reason for tinnitus going softer after listening so some pure tones. Its well known as residual inhibition. Residual inhibition (RI) refers to the phenomenon of transient tinnitus loudness suppression after exposure to an acoustic stimulus (Roberts et al., 2008; Terry et al., 1983). It was first described more than 100 years ago by Spaulding (1903) and systematically studied by Feldmann in the 1970s (Feldmann, 1971).
It did slightly temporarily reduce mine as well. I'm trying to listen to hear my frequency, but it disappearing when I'm listening for it makes it a bit difficult.
Mine is tonal mainly with occasional changes or additions of buzzing and screeching. And a few other not on the list. A digital computer sound and random pops like in the movies when a grenade goes off and you hear the sound of the character hears temporarily.
Good luck to us all 👍
4000hz matched mine
10,000 Hz is close, and once I hear that pitch, the tinnitus reduces significantly. I found that i get a similar experience coming out of the shower (white noise) where I have no tinnitus for any where from 20 minutes to several hours. Also, I tend to hear it on my left side more than right.
I have the same experience with showering, which means I am now ultra clean all the time!!! Anything for some relief.
Mine seems to be around 2000 - 2200 Hz. I appreciate the information you share to help educate us about tinnitus
Hey Don! You’re more than welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Matthew
Mine is around 2000 also. I’ve had it for about 10 years now. I am currently 37. It’s just a part of life. Am trying to cope.
right around 8000. thank you for the spectrum, knowing the frequency feels a little empowering
I've had tinnitus for many, many years and my doctor asked me how I deal with it and my reply was, "I ignore it" and I still do. I forgot about the point of this video because I got distracted how it was freaking out my cats. Congratulations for keeping your video short and to the point because that so unusual on TH-cam.
Hey Steve, thanks for taking the time to comment! Keep watching, Matthew
Hey, you said "had"... Is it gone now? I've had it 24 years now and need hope.
@@D72T91 I said, "I've had" meaning I still do have tinnitus and didn't notice it right now until I read your question.
@@HearingTrackercan you email me. I’m curious about my tinnitus it’s below the 2500 range
Just under 8000 is my Tinnitus, WoW this is the first time I’ve heard my level being played. Thanks 🙏🏻
Edit,.
I have now found my actual pitch and it is exactly 8235hz , it merges with my tinnitus perfectly but, still sad. 👍
Around 8000 for me
me too, just under 8000, and I can't hear anything past about 9500
Mine is 4000 Hz and oddly I couldn’t hear the higher ones. I am scheduled for hearing test and ENT appointments. Tinnitus started after oral surgery a few years ago and drives me crazy on quiet Saturday mornings. I am going to try turning on the radio this weekend, plus I will watch your other videos. Thanks.
I find audio books are relaxing and quieten it down, whereas tv must have an underlying frequency that disturbs mine as I start to buzz badly. I use audio books to fall to sleep at night, I have them on very low with airbuds so no wires in the bed and mix that up with crickets at other times.
about 10k Hz is what I hear non stop. So anoying. I went to an ENT doctor this week, who said my ears, nose, and throat are all in great shape. Cleaned a tiny bit of wax (made no difference) Ordered a hearing test for symmetry, to rule out anything serious (I've had this for almost 20 years, so I don't think it's anything like a tumor, and I also feel I hear just as well out of both ears) And basically told me that if that comes back ok, I'm just stuck with it. I don't like that answer. There are devices that can mask the frequency, but they are expensive if not prescribed. I guess that's what I was hoping for. He basically told me "nope" Second opinion? Not sure. I'm just done living with this. Most of the time, I just zone it out. But if I ever stop to "listen" to it, I can't make it stop. If that makes any sense. I'd love to know if anyone else has anything to say about all of this.
Hey Daniel, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. As an alternative take a look at some of the videos out there on TH-cam which can help to make your tinnitus too. Although this is only a band-aid, it won’t resolve the issue. I have a few other videos on dealing with your tinnitus which I’d recommend checking out. Good luck brother, Matthew
I feel the same way. Mine is up there around 9000 but I zone out too because I'm just stuck in the ringing. Sometimes I can't even hear anyone talking to me cause I'm focused on the ringing. It's deffinetly not fun. Had mine since I was 17 or 18. Definitely worse then it used to be
i feel the same.. i have about 6000 HZ and it is very obvious especially at night. bad thing about it is i am very young and ive had it my whole life
I have my first ET appointment on June 27th. The place is book up I can't get on sooner. My ears always rings but goes away. However, this time 3 days in a row won't go away. I had to call off from work today. The ringing was so bad caused a have an mirgriane. In addition ringing also feels pressure around my eyes. I ended up having an occipital seizure. I been seizure free until today. When I see the ET doc in June. I just know the ET will say I'm fine nothing is wrong.
4000 hz was my sweet spot. Thankyou for providing this scale to allow me to now search for that specific tone.👌
This is a very interesting test. Thank you for sharing this. I like it. I checked in around 400MH. I could hear the sound going up a little bit more than eventually completely disappeared. I’ll experiment with this some more but I think 4000 might be in my range.😊
I heard a strong match across the range from 3.5k to 4.5k. Also, I did not hear anything beyond 8.5k, but long years of rock music and chain saws may be the cause of that. My tinnitus has never bothered me because my brain interprets it as the sound of the woods at night. The same sounds I heard as an early teen listening out my window on hot summer nights. Crickets and katydids on the left, small frogs and unidentified insects to the right, so rather comforting overall. Caused by a very loud (+120db) high-pitched ringing from hitting part of a Mini's suspension with a brass hammer, I also have a crackle, in my left only, when exposed to high-frequency multi-pitch sounds, such as an organ chord.
hi I have ear problems like you, but I'm not sure mine is crackle because I'm not native English speaker. When I hear everyday sound and if it's loud or even mild sound or certain sounds my ear make noise in my ear also some pounding sensation. is this like yours? and it's been 4 months still bothering me :(
I was finally able to identify the frequency by listening to this - it is around 6kHz. Also, as another commenter noted, listening to this temporarily caused my tinnitus to stop for a few moments.
David. As I'm sure you're aware, there is no cure for this. There are some folks that believe you can "cancel" the noise you hear through the "interference" principle. Yes, you can add sound to sound and produce silence through this proven method.
Problem is, the annoying noise we hear is generated in our brain, and therefore not a real sound. I am sorry it is this way, but when you think it is cancelled in some meaningful permanent way you will be disappointed. I really hope the research into the nerve damage that is probably the root cause of this malady makes some real progress so these millions of sufferers can get some relief.
Good luck.
Great way to see what im experiencing with your scale. Mine is in my right ear and its between 4000-8000hz then when i rest my head on my pillow at night i hear my heart beating in my right ear... i wish i could SLEEP.
do u sleep properly with this problm
Between 8 & 10k. I’m 73 and have had it since I was in my teens. Big fun.
This didn't really help so I called the tinnitus help line but it just kept ringing. Thank you, I'll see myself out.
Mine was matched at about 4000htz ...I've suffered since a teenager with standing too close to loud music speakers ...but now 40 years later its definitely there as a continuous high-pitched hissing sound 24/7 I hear it louder if I've been out say in a shopping mall or social setting like a dinner or pub where everyone is talking loudly...I'll get home and the hissing is extra loud and noticeable. I hate it.
My age is 32 but 1 ear ringing very high tinnitus after an accident....8th nerve problem....if treatment is possible so please help me 🙏
@@ravindergartan2602 Hi there...I wish I could recommend something that would work but I haven't come across anything yet myself. I'm sorry...wish you the best of luck!
Has anyone tried cortexi
same here, I got mine from a rock concert in the middle of the 80's. For me it was about 4k. From 8k and up, there is no sound at all
Mine to me, sounds like crickets you might hear after dark during the spring or summer, although alternately I also often get a kind of buzzing/ringing sound. I can sometimes hear either of the sounds above other noise around me, especially if the other noise is quiet or muffled
Mine was at about 4000hz. I was finally able to get my wife to understand what I go through on a daily basis after I let hear the frequency range through headphones. Now she understands why I have a hard time hearing her when she talks low or mumbles and has her head turned away from me and why the tv is turned up at times. Thank you for this video!
That's an awesome "excuse"!!... Joking... I have similar issues which is why I tend to watch peoples lips when they are talking to me... not really "reading" lips, but gives me visual clues...
@@t.c.2776yes, me too
Tried a technique I picked up from one of your commenters where he mentioned that tensing the jaw muscles provided some relief. I tried it and it was(to me) a significant reduction of loudness if only just during the muscle tension for a brief period. Not sure what it means but it gives me some hope trying to attain some level of control. My frequency seemed to be in the 2000 to 4000 range. Thx for your video. It’s been hell for the past 30 years of living with tinnitus.
I find any thing I do - tensing / opening jaw etc, just makes it worse!
@@ProjectNarrowboat Yes, makes mine appreciably louder.
Please share the video
I heard mine all the way through and I quit hearing the tone at around 7500 So this is pretty accurate, because on my best day, I can hear in the nines.
I've had tinnitus my whole life. I thought for a long time, that it was just something everyone heard.
Mine sets at around 12k, it goes louder as I get tired or stressed out, the more I drink alcohol the louder it gets.
I actually focus on it when meditating, I don't see it as an issue in my life, I think it kinda keeps my head in tune. I embrace it. I am a singer and I see it like a tuning fork in my head. I know it vary a lot from person to person,
My mom has severe tinnitus, more like a loud ringing bell, which made her miserable for a long time. it started when she was in her late 30s after being traumatised by constant treats from her ex husband, constantly calling her and continuous death treats. Now she copes with tinnitus a lot better, by accepting it and not focusing on it as a bad thing.
My tinnitus is at somewhere 8000-10000Hz. It's hard to tell exactly because it not just a simple continous high buzzing but also some hissing or something (not my blood pressure or blood flowing, it's clearly a "phantom sound").
By the way my tinnitus doesn't bother me. When I was young kid I thought everybody has that buzzing sound in their heads 😅
Thanks for this video.
Ha --same frequency and I tell the same story. It's just always been there in the background.
I'm the same too. I remember it as a child, I could sit in the car (the quietest place i remember) and that's when I'd hear the ring. And the clock ticking (why did that car have a clock that ticked???) The ring made me wonder while I'd wait for my mum to get to the car. I thought it was just a normal sound.
Hard to tell. Between 3.5K to 5K. I’m gonna listen a few more times to narrow it down. Thanks for this video. I’ve been having this for as long as I can remember. I’m 58. The best way I describe it is kinda sounds like crickets outside your window at night. Sometimes much louder than other times. When it is loud I try to find something else to focus my attention on
I respect your videos 100% I just came across your channel and was very focused on the information,I've had it since I was 13 years old idk what caused it exactly all i know is I woke up one school morning and I started hearing it but never bothered to say anything to my parents because idk I guess I was just nervous to go to the doctor 😅 it was stupid but around 18 I'd when I finally spoke about it.Im still struggling at times but I'm not letting it stop me I believe I can overcome my tinnitus and move forward in life.
Hey Carlos, thanks for the great message 😊. That’s the attitude, great work man. Matthew
Mine seemed to appear one day when I was 12 or 13. It subsided but has always been there.Being a musician obviously worsened it, but in last two years it has gone ballistic.So loud, I usually have to zone out on couch and hope I fall asleep to get some relief. I was quite intrigued by the fact that sometimes anethesia can trigger it. I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy and a sigmoidoscopy in last 4 years. I think it worsened after the stomach scope. To anyone suffering, I wish you well and may we all find relief from this. My frequency varies but the constant is around 8000 or higher.
from the start ... didnt do much but then hit 8000 .. pure bliss.. 16000 . 1st tym to feel pure bliss wow..
Between 4000 and 8000. Thank you for your work and your aim to help other people.
Thanks for your fantastic videos Mathew.. I often get a temporary higher pitched sound, usually in the right side which fortunately lasts less than a minute, but from this test 4000 hz masks the constant hiss from the left side. Keep up the good work.
What a lovely message! Thank you. I hope that you're able to cope with your tinnitus! Matthew
For me the sound dipped out massively just before 5khz, came back and then faded away by about 12-14khz (masked by my tinnitus) but I felt that mine was like around 8-10k (more than one tone) and sounded very similar to the version of yours.
Very interesting! The sound volume drops to almost nothing at 4000Hz then picks back up again before trailing off at 8000Hz, maybe my ears or maybe my headphones.
It's hard to tell but I think my tinnitus has a main frequency around that 4000Hz quiet zone.
EDIT: Looks like my frequency is 6K to 7K on further exploration.
I do audio work part time. Was at the AES conference in NY last Wed. A monitor engineer for bands mentioned he had someone like that who could not hear about 4k so for his mixing of their in ear monitors for the band he had to increase that frequency to the player. In the real world, a specifically tuned hearing aid to boost that small frequency range can give you more natural hearing in those frequencies.
Probably the best video explainer about tinnitus out on You Tube anywhere. Thanks! My tinnitus frequency was 8000k when i listened to your frequencies ranges. you make so much sense and im glad that i came across it. i am using a white noise masker and will be reading a very good book on mindfulness. thanks again.
Mine is about 4000-5000hz. Thanks for this video! 😊
Thanks for the info. My tinnitus was around 8000. I think that may be similar to yours from what I heard on the video.
Hey Martin, mines a little higher, somewhere around 12kHz or so. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Matthew
I stopped hearing the sound right after 8000. Does that mean my frequency is around there? Now sure how to use the test.
I believe I’ve had it for about three years now. I just noticed one day when sitting in my chair and reading that both ears were ringing, and they’ve never stopped. Went to ear doc; had hearing test. Was told I “have some hearing loss in my left ear” which is barely noticeable for me. But…my ears are RINGAAAIING!!😵 what does that - what does that hearing test do for that??!! An-solutely NOTHing!! The young Dr. was NO help to me, but she got paid😄!
u did Ct scan
You might try completely avoiding LED lighting for a time. The conversion to LEDs began in earnest in 2017 and was extensive by 2020. You, like me, may be very susceptible to tinnitus from LED lights.
@@tunneloflight What's that? It's the first time I hear this. What about computer screens? They are all LED now.
@@bouxesas2046 The tinnitus caused by LED lights is the result of the 120 hertz ripple frequency in the lights. Computers operate on DC voltage and use a different refresh rate. Typically they have no ripple. Some TVs on the other hand use a 120 hertz screen rate. Worse, older LED TVs adjusted brightness by introducing interlaced black screens.
The ripple occurs because of the cheap simple AC to DC power conversion circuits used by the lights. That creates an AC ripple on the DC power at twice the mains frequency. In the U.S. all of North America, a lot of South America, Taiwan, and half of Japan and a few others that is at 120 hz (twice 60); and in Europe and most of the rest of the world that is at 100 hertz (twice 50 hz).
Almost all devices use the 452 nm blue emitters used in almost all LED lights. There are rare exceptions, like the SORAA Be Healthy lights, which used 415 nm emitters, and studio lights that usually use 474 nm. All of these except the 415 nm based lights strongly bleach the retina, and strongly disrupt the sleep cycle. The bleaching leads to macular degeneration and blindness. The disruption of the sleep cycle leads to breast, prostate and intestinal cancers, and increased rates of heart disease, diabetes, depression, suicide and other diseases.
8000 hz for me. Had it for over 30 years and it's gotten a lot louder recently. Used to be able to ignore it most of the time. Not anymore ☹️
5-6k. During a cervical myelogram lumbar puncture 8/2023 I experienced a loud high pitched frequency in my right ear. I asked if this was normal as it was occurring. I was told, yes. I did not believe this to be true. I can not get rid of it.
I found my tinnitus seems to be 8000+. I have lost my hearing aids which were given to me on the NHS and work great. Just applied for two more!
Somewhere between 3000-5000 Hz is what mine "sounds" like. I've had bad tinnitus issues since coming home from Vietnam in 1969. Mine can be, and usually is, a steady high-pitched tone, but sometimes it "sounds" like I'm in an aviary and there are masses of birds chirping. Both are bothersome. Thanks for the video Matthew. Just a side note, I ordered new Phonak Lumity hearing aids yesterday. They should be here around the first of the year. Hopefully they will be an improvement over the Starkey Evolve AIs I have been using.
Hey Bill, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I would love to hear your feedback on the tech and if you find the lumitys an improvement, Matthew
@@HearingTracker Will do. Keep up the fine videos, they are much appreciated.
Very interesting. My tinnitus is the pulsatile "cicada" variety. The recording disappeared just before 8,000 Hz and resumed shortly thereafter. It started disappearing again around 12,000 and things got pretty quiet just before 16,000. It also shifted from side to side a bit after it passed 8,000 Hz before centering again.
Me too cicada sound also.
Get it checked , my doctor friend said pulsating needs to get checked
omg I keep describing to people that it sounds like a crispy kinda cicada noise that can pulsate in that chirpy sorta manner... So good to know im not alone...
Things got quiet for me around 8000.
@@therealabid we hv to do Ct? scan
Wow. I have had Tinnitus since I was mid way through the US Navy. Didn't really think about it as my brain kind of got used to it. But at nearly 52 years old now, I hear it all the time, particularly in quiter environments. During watching the video, my ability to hear the tone dropped off at about 4500Hz, both ears and I could not hear anything at all above around 7800-8000Hz...interesting way to find your frequency range of Tinnitus...
GOD BLESS YOU. I HEAR 7 TONES AND THEIR MIND PEIRCING THIS IS THE FIRST RELEASE IT DOESNT GO AWAY BUT IT SOFTENS IT. THANK YOU..............I HAVE TO LISTEN IT A FEW TIMES BUT WOW............SIGH THANK YOU
Around 4000 was the point where the tone became indistinguishable from my tinnitus which is constant.
Thank you Matthew. This video is really helpful for these people suffering tinnitus.
Thanks for watching Carla, Matthew
My tinnitus is somewhere around the 440 Hz range, which is actually the same pitch as the internationally recognised A440 (or simply A4) pitch. I also occasionally hear the same sound as crickets make and first thought I had one in my ear, but it's again a part of the tinnitus. It does drive me bonkers at times.
PS: Somewhere around the 8000 Hz I lose the sound, no matter if I turn the volume to full.
Wow a constant 440 would be annoying.
Same here at 8000 it went quiet
@@2biicoachingformndkarlotto317 You've either hit the upper end of your hearing or your headphones, probably the former if you are 50+ like me.
Mine is above everything you played. I have endured this 24/7 for 13 years and I have never found a tone that matches. My tinnitus is extremely high pitched. Specialists have told me there is nothing they can do for me. It’s like being tortured every minute of every day and night. I am in my 70’s now and I will know I have died when I finally experience silence again.
18khz, one ear. About 20 years. Using power tools through working life.
It's really bizzare but I think mine is at the height of my hearing range being around 16,000hz+. I can still hear to 20,000hz too. I always guessed my tinnitus wasn't from hearing loss, but from my jaw. It started happening when my wisdom teeth were coming in. My dentist still says that's not the reason for my tinittus but I think it is. Moving my jaw makes it louder and even quieter sometimes.
same for me
@@zetti9 Mine is in the 8 - 8500 range then stops. Mine becomes louder when i move my jaw as well. I have had a broken jaw and tons of dental work. I can't really recall when i started noticing the tinnitus. Quite a few years ago. My hearing is otherwise generally fine as well. It has gotten noticeably louder with two separate sinus infections and stayed louder.
Sailing in the same boat. I developed tinnitus right after a wisdom tooth dental surgery and it’s related to moving of jaw. My hearing range is similar to yours
@Lee-mi6hl looks like you might have TMJ tinnitus which is curable. just find a better dentist; this one is an ...
You can't hear 18000.
Hi Matthew! My tinnitus is a combination of many frequencies. But the most severe is 15.000Hz this one it feels like is piercing my brain. I have it for 3 months now. Im looking forward to get use to it because right now seems very loud
I'm 15k on both, you aren't alone my friend we can do this. It's like I hear my blood flowing.
@@rodriguezzzzzz Do you think there is any chance to get use to it?
@@mrNickpro Found a video man, try this, it masks it completely:

Hey Metalizer, I hope that you start to be able to manage it too. You’ve got the right attitude. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Matthew
@@rodriguezzzzzz do u hear in crowd place like bangles metallic sound
7000hz on up. I’ve had it so long I made friends with it. Good morning “Ringer”! Actually I have T1 diabetes and if my a1c is too high, Ringer goes away. So in that Ringer is a friend. I cannot imagine how hard it would be if I were bothered by Ringer.
Interesting test which I've never done before. I've had tinnitus for 2O+ years using music ear phones and USAF exposure to jets. My test range is 7,000-8,000hz and varies in intensity from right to left, 4-8/10 range. For now, I'm managing it with a bit of mind over matter. Physical workouts intensifies my tinnitus. I'm 83 years of age in good health and physically fit. The cost for therapy would be prohibitive.
Around 12000, I can stop my tinnitus for some seconds thanks to this video.
i run a fan 100% of the time, and don't notice it as bad anymore.
thank you very much! i have tinnitus for 12 years now. and it varies, it's very extreme in the morning and very annoying. at 8000 frequency, the ringing in my right ear disappsared for a few minutes and gradually came back. but even for a few short moment it was gone i feel so glad and excited. i've forgotten how peaceful it felt without these annoying 24/7 ringing. i learned how to ignore it but most of the time it's realy hard to do so
80,000 hz! I thought I was much lower - I never heard a test go up that far and 80k matched my problem
My tinnitus is around 7.5 khz but could be around 8 Khz. I have it only in my left ear. I already had a brain scan to rule out a tumor. NO other health issues. Some days I awake with no tinnitus. But if I fall asleep, even for a minute, sitting or lying down, it comes back.
Around 3,000 I couldn’t hear my head ringing.
Stopped hearing the sounds after about 12000.
Thanks for this video!
Interesting video. I have had this issue for at least 30 years probably longer. I woud say I am around the 6000-6500Hz and have this issue 24/7. It goes quiet after about 8500Hz. I had one day a few months ago where it was clear for most of a day. It stood out as this is the frst time I can remember it being silent. I just put up with it but that one day I was clear was really nice. Mine seems to be right ear only.
Mine is between 4K to 8K constant 24/7, 365. Relief comes when I go to sleep. BTW, I have a thyroid condition for about 35 yrs now.
I've always heard what i call my inner cord. As the shuman resinance has stepped up, so has this oscillating cord I hear. I tape into t uring meditaton along with my breath. This sound scape never causes me discomfort. Closs to that 4000Hz cord.💖💖💖
I have had my tinnitus for about five years now, it bothered me at first, some days it’s more predominant than others, not so much anymore. It’s 8000 for me but lately, it goes down to 100 for a minute or so then back to high pitch again. They tried to give me some sort of anxiety medication for it, I told them I can deal with it without meds. I sleep fine, I’ve just settled for the fact that I will never be able to sit in silence ever again and pray I don’t ever lose my hearing. I will take tinnitus for the rest of my life over going deaf. Going to be tested for Meniere’s, or rather, a balance test in Jan.
8000Hz…I am 64 and I have had tinnitus in my right ear ever since my early 20s. It is nonstop 24/7.
Ahhhhh the hearing nothing spot - amazing! Circa 15000Hz
Bout a perfect match at 8khz. At that point I couldn't hear one thing different than I hear all the time. My wife could hear it across the room. Thanks!
I have been living with Tinnitus for 50 years it sucks (about 3000 Hz). Most of the time it just blends into the background but when it is quiet it is so loud. But fortunately I have learned to live with it and it just become the background noise of my life.
I've had tinnitus in both ears for about 15 years or more. It's at about 7.6kHz. It has been pretty loud in both ears for about 10 years. Thanks.
Did caused you any ears problems? Like decreasing your hearing?
Over 1000 it started to help but 3500-4000 was the best for me
My pitch is 8000. I’ve had it since I got a severe migraine on my right side of my head. Afterwards the results gong started. I actually have 3 different pitches all at the same time. It’s been about 10 years and yes I’ve given up ever hearing nothing. I sleep with some form of relaxation music that helps quiet the noise some. But I know it’s still there and just concentrate on the music. This helps some. A cure would be wonderful, I’m pretty tired of always hearing noise.
Around 3800 it became inseparable from the sound in my head.
Perfect! Thanks, 😀 Matthew
Less than 8,000. It was surreal when the sounds matched!
Around 7700Hz. I've had this my whole life, and I'm 40 now. My mom claimed I began to complain about ringing after an ear infection as a toddler, so I truly did just grow up dealing with it, powering through, being told there was "nothing they could do." Tonight it was so loud it woke me up at 5:00 on a Sunday, so perhaps it's time to get actual relief. Also, my hearing putters out at 13,000Hz, but I can hear down to 13Hz.
My tinnitus matched at about 7400 Hz. I could not hear anything over 8000 Hz.
Interesting video.
Mine tinnitus is caused by Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing aids reduce the volume of the noise, but they do not shut off the noise.
