I don't have tinnitus, but I do think the ringing is often electromagnetic waves.
If any of you have ever heard an electric matress filler, it makes an incredibly annoying high-pitch noise, well, one day I was walking down the road,
and I was sure I heard one of those, but being in a fair sized town, it was a tad strange. I looked around to try and find out where it was coming
from, and I found the house that it got loudest at, the house had a large T.V antenna on it, and every once in a while the noise would die down,
during this time the antenna would turn a bit, then stop, and the noise would return, my mom (who was with me at the time) couldn't hear a thing,
this is just one of the reasons I am sure it is TV/radio signals.
Also, if you mute your Television, you can likely still hear it. Not hear the talking very often, but the ringing, as well as occasionally hear lights
being on or off, or different electrical appliances being turned on or off, but of course, not all people can hear it.
The strangest thing is when you are just sitting somewhere, and suddenly hear a very strong ring in your ear, enough to make you look around and think
'wtf?'..I hate and love it when that happens..
By the way, sorry for reviving this down-page topic..
