Faking tinnitus

[tomlowd]

there's an excellent australian film called "noise" that is about tinnitus and does a brilliant job with sound design. they do an excellent job of representing what it's like....

which for me is like someone hits a mute switch in one of my ears and normal audio is replaced by a sine wave tone at about 4k at a low volume for about 15 seconds.

Pretty sure if you're hearing distortion above 110dB it just means you're not going deaf.

That's EXACTLY how I would describe it for me.

Mine is similar to a distorted triangle shaped signal at around 8.5kHz.

As someone stated earlier in the thread, it will pulsate with increased blood flow to the head, e.g. when exercising or lying down.
