I’ve had high-pitched tinnitus in my ears for decades now. Brother has it too. Easily ignored. If I think about it, I can hear it. I have low-pitched tinnitus in my right ear. I usually don’t hear it unless it is dead quiet. This is newer, over the last few years. It is more annoying as it doesn’t matter if I’m thinking about it or not.
Either pronunciation works, and Fren…you have a mild case?
Some are NOT “easily ignored,” I really hate when those that don’t know the worse cases say that….apologies, maybe you were saying yours is worse now?
Nothing masks mine….and then there is the hyperacusis.
Aren’t they pronouncing tinnitus wrong?
Yes. Tin-Eye-tis

Brother and I are NOT jabbed.

The high-pitched tone that you can ignore is completely normal.
The high-pitched tone that you CANNOT ignore is sending a message.
I suggest that only the grating, harsh, hard to ignore tone be called tinnitus.
That happened to me when I had a root canal and the dentist forgot to give me a prescription for antbiotics.
That tone changed and got very loud and insistent. After I was on antibiotics, it became normal again.
The normal tone is quite nice, especially if you listen to it like music and look for sound layers beneath and beyond it.
Nada yoga.
There are sounds like tinkling of bells and other sounds as well.
If it ever again gets harsh and loud, I'll know I need to seek some kind of medical treatment.
There is no medical treatment.
I have it too, but I am convinced it’s because of two decades of DJ’ing, attending and throwing electronic music events.
Either pronunciation is used. Ive heard it pronounced ti-ni-tus as was done here more often than the the alternate.
It's not just tinnitus unfortunately that's reported. There's also outright hearing loss likely from blockage of the artery supplying the inner ear.
