It'= s then said that tinnitus=2C therefore=2C occurs at the frequency of a hearin= g loss. Even if I could be said to have an area of expertise=2C tinnitus research wouldn= 't be it=2C but it's certainly an area of interest for me and I am someone with tinnitus who has done several audiograms. On my audiogram there is a dip ar= ound the frequency of my tinnitus=2C but I suspect this dip is due to masking of= the tone or warble used rather than necessarily being indicative of a hearing l= oss. I'd be very interested to know how people make the distinction between mask= ing by tinnitus and a hearing loss.
