My tinnitus has been getting worse over the years. It will start screaming from time to time. This is usually after I eat or drink something. I am looking into getting a glucometer to check my blood sugar and see if it makes a difference.

I did something interesting or odd, depends on your viewpoint. I discovered that my tinnitus is at a pitch between C6sharp and D6 or D6flat and D6 on a piano.

So it is between C#6 @ 1109 Hertz (cycles per second) and D6 @ 1175 Hertz

I have tried to rate the Decibel level but this is a tough one. I think it is about 50-65db at normal and up to 75db at its worst. At least that is how loud the sounds need to be for them to overcome the tinnitus.

Call me odd, or am I just brain damaged?

There have been studies done that identified the exact place in the brain where the tinnitus is heard. The hope is using subdural (deep brain) electro stimulation to cancel out the tinnitus. This is aimed at those whose tinnitus is to the point of disabling or interrupting life activities.

Way to much risk for most of us.
