Mine is a mid-high ~4-6 kHz ringing tone that is stronger in my right ear than the left. Normally, tinnitus is centered in the middle. Due to this imbalance, I had an MRI to see if I had a tumor – which can cause tinnitus. Usually, it is caused by genetics, normal age-related deterioration, long-term work-related abuse or damage due to an extreme exposure to noise. Severe tinnitus can prevent sleep etc & drive people crazy. Like her . . .

If there a problem sleeping you can get a white noise machine made by Marsona. The noise it makes drowns out the tinnititis.
