In What key is your Tinnitus?

[SIMON GABRIELOW]

Sometimes, like most, you can get that subtle buzzing in the ears, that occurs, either because it is always  there, or due to cold maybe.

Sometimes I have noticed that if you have that tinnitus tone ringing away, slightly even on occasions, it can actually be found to correspond to a note in musical sound!

You may play, as example only for sake off argument, a D on concertina and actually find its the same note as the tone of tinnitus in the ear itself!

How peculiar and rather like having  a tuning fork inside the noggin itself .

So, if you out have that buzzing in your ears, try and find out which note it corresponds to, and we may find between us all, a virtual choir enough to form a Tinnitus Orchestra!

 

So, What's your Tinnitus note? It will be interesting to find out.

Somewhere in the 4000H+ range is when a tone generator gets lost in my noise.

Some overtones (its more of a hiss) , but basically a slightly flat Bb!

I haven't put the 'like' vote in my reply near your comment of B flat [tinnitus] because I like the thought of having the noise there; I just believe it could be in fact a microtone if its flatter than B flat to begin with?🙂
