Who here has tinnitus? 

I have a constant ringing in my ears (usually worse at night) that’s roughly in the 14khz range. 

No cure, nothing I’ve found to help that much with symptoms either. 

Only way to live with it is to learn to accept it.

Always wonder how people distinguish this from the tone that normal healthy people hear. Like how does it interfere with your life?

I'm not sure if it's considered normal to hear hallucinated buzzing, hissing, knocking, or pure tones at different frequencies. 

Though, the level of discomfort / debilitation does vary wildly for people with tinnitus.

Kinda. Wiki mentions “normal tinnitus” which is shared by all. Asking “who has ‘normal tinnitus’?” is then like asking “who here has normal hearing” 😅. Helpful to separate those who have a hearing issue from those who are simply human (and those who haven’t noticed either?)

What's the tone that normal healthy people hear? Isn't that just tinnitus?

I actually hate when movies do this now. End up having to plug my ears.

I developed tinnitus in my adult life, prior to that I did not hear any tone in perfect silence.

It's obvious when you get it anyway. Think of TV/movie where a grenade explodes and the main character hears nothing but dull sounds and a high pitched ringing. It's close to that.
