Are there different types of Tinnitus?
There are two types of tinnitus: objective and subjective. Objective tinnitus can be heard by people around you, whereas only you can hear subjective tinnitus. The type of sound you hear can also differ. Tinnitus can be a continuous sound like a sea shell (Continuous) or pulsing like your heart beat (Pulsatile). Continunous tinnitus is the far more common type.
