It sucks, because I love music. But on the other hand, I can ignore people yappin' about stuff I don't care about and blame it on my hearing!

It's not really a hearing test, and the tinnitus that I have doesn't impact it at all, but I learned sometime in the past few years that all tinnitus is not created equal.

Exactly what I missed.

Sometime in the past few years, we had a thread (have had a few actually) about tinnitus. During some surfing about it triggered by that thread I came across a site that had, I think, about 8-12 different tinnitus sounds. Mine is, to me, fairly innocuous. I think it's a very high pitched hiss or whistle (I think up around 10-11khz). It doesn't bother me, and I don't think it impacts my hearing all that much. But I guess what other folks call tinnitus could sound very different from how I experience it.
