Can people close to you hear your tinnitus as well?



I don't believe so. Maybe I should buy a stethoscope and check. I've been referred to an ENT but the waitlist is stupidly long, in Canada.


It took me 3 months to get into ENT here, and while they are very kind - it added nothing for me personally (i.e. we don't have a good solution for tinnitus, here are some things to avoid, etc etc). I hope your visit bears more fruit!


That's what I anticipate but mostly I want to rule out any serious causes as my tinnitus is low-pitched, both irregular and regular patterned, pulsatile, is affected by my head position and physical exertion, and fluctuates every other day. It is unlike the continuous high-pitch tinnitus that most articles describe.
