What if I am just imagining the high pitch sound in my mind whenever I hear about or think of tinnitus just like how someone tells you to imagine a whale and you form a mental image of a whale? I don’t pay attention to the noise while I’m busy doing stuff but once I think about it, it is as hard to stop noticing it similar to being told to breathe manually, and it gets very annoying after some time. Is it what tinnitus really is?
I think the intensity of tinnitus varies from person to person. For me it’s a constant ringing that doesn’t affect my life too badly. To the fellow that started Texas Roadhouse restaurants and killed himself, I assume it was much worse. From what I’ve read there’s a couple of things that cause tinnitus. Ginko biloba addresses one of those causes. It’s cheap and available in any drugstore without a prescription and IMO is worth a try.
