“Drs. Miot and Herck divide⟳ sounds in the ears into two groups: (1) The noises which really exist⟳ in the ears or their neighborhood. They are called entotic and periotic sounds respectively. (2) The true tinniti or auditory sensations which have⟳ no apparent cause. […] The tinniti caused by lesions without the auditory apparatus are of various kinds. […] In some mental diseases tinniti are prominent.”

“N had a large number⟳ of subjective tones or tinniti, which made perception of the weak tones difficult and unstable. […] Liminal determinations were also attempted with N for Tone 3, but very distracting tinniti of about the same pitch made these determinations very irregular and unreliable. […] N shows a larger scatter⟳ of judgments than C or R, probably because of his tinniti. […] N’s tinniti continued to render his observations difficult. R, shortly after the completion of the preliminary experiments, contracted an infection in the eustachian tubes and middle ears which gave rise⟳ to numerous auditory disturbances, ranging from roaring and rushing sounds to the more common forms of tinniti.”

“When tinniti are due to a bad labyrinthine fluid pressure, the patient usually compares them with an ocean noise or a gas leak, wherever the labyrinthine fluid pressure is increased or decreased. […] A series of 376 French and foreign patients who underwent a revision operation have⟳ had a computorized survey over a two year period, for the hightone tinniti over 2000 Hz, which usually do not stop⟳ after the revision surgery. In 43% of cases, the intensity of the tinniti can be increased or reduced, after only a few seconds with this fluid pressure tinnitus test⟳.”
