My tinnitus is a geiger counter type noise, extremely annoying.
Would it also sound like a typewriter? If so, google "typewriter tinnitus". It may be treatable with carbamazepine.

The Flare Audio Calmer didn’t work for me but it comes with a money back guarantee so worth trying. My tinnitus is a geiger counter type noise, extremely annoying.
Trouble is, it becomes a thing when we look into it. The doctor said his tinnitus flared up today, just by talking to me about mine. Sorry if I have activated yours.
I didn't realise caffeine was a factor, that's useful to know.
41 is not exactly young anymore . I presume most audiophiles will have some form of tinnitus at some point of their lives. It's just a matter of severity, some mild whilst some more severe.My my ears are relatively young, at 41. I think my hearing is fine.
Just saw this response before I made post above. Similarly I did all the tests at the ENT which are the standard thing they'll do.Thanks everyone for the reassurance and insight here.
I saw the specialist for an intro meeting today. Ears look clear, so having follow-up appointments and tests in the coming days. First clues sound like it might be something to live with and tune out. Trouble is, it becomes a thing when we look into it.

I didn't realise caffeine was a factor, that's useful to know. I did hear stress can be. That could be a factor with me. It's easy to suppress stress and think everything is fine – until you list everything going on life, and come to the realisation I need to take it a bit easier, and relax the mind a little.

I suppose it could be thought of that way, yes, but if so, bloody superb typist, must be averaging 300wpm!!! Will look into that suggestion, thanks.Would it also sound like a typewriter? If so, google "typewriter tinnitus". It may be treatable with carbamazepine.
That's the only advice I've been given by doctors - 'ignore it'. I have eventually got used to it (mostly)Yes I suffer. Just ignore it. Divert your attention elsewhere, don't give it space, don't elevate it, don't worry about it.
I haven't noticed it all day, but now I've read this thread it's there, singing away. I will now ignore it, and it will be in the background again.
Your brain will learn to tune it out if you give it space.

On a quiet night, do you hear a slight constant high pitch ringing, whistling or buzzing sound from one or both ears? A faint sound or a moderate loud sound which will depend on the severity of the symptom. There's a constant high pitch sound in my ears but it's not very loud, bearable. I suppose the sound was there at an early stage, probably when I'm in my twenties. As we get older, the sound gradually gets louder. I started to notice this sound when I'm in my mid or late thirties.
I don't think there's any cure for tinnitus as mentioned in earlier tinnitus threads created last year. We can prevent it from getting worse by practicing good listening habits.
