The only thing that makes me wonder otherwise is the fact i alter the volume by making certain movements with my head & jaw, especially yawning & twisting my head to either side increases it to an insane volume. I've had neckissues for a long time so it could've been that as well, altho i've went to an osteopath for a while & it didn't help the tinnitus.
There are multiple causes for tinnitus, it's not just hearing loss, you can get it from physical issues with your neck, with your jaw (TMJ), from taking certain meds (aspirine for ex.), although hearing loss is probably the most frequent one.
Mine sounds like you put the tv on without any channel being displayed, so just a black image & having the transformer inside make a very slight buzz noise, that's the only way i can describe it, it doesn't bother me too much anymore but the first 3 months i had it really freaked me out.
