What's the frequency of the ringing in my ear? I have ringing in my ears that has become constant over time. Most of the time I just ignore it, to tell you the truth I can't even remember when it started. Lately I'm curious what the frequency of the ringing is.

Is it the same for everyone or does it vary?The answer seems to be that it varies

Are there any usual suspect frequencies?

If it's always different from person to person, what's the easiest way of figuring out what it is? Is there an app for that? I still haven't found answer to this

When I chew something tough, many times I can hear the ringing increase in loudness and decrease as I flex my jaw and release. Thought this might be relevent.
The frequency is individual, and known as tinnitus frequency or pitch.
From  Okamoto et al., 2010:

Our target notched music introduced a functional deafferentation of
auditory neurons corresponding to the eliminated frequency
band, and because this frequency band overlapped the individual
tinnitus frequency, the notched music no longer stimulated the
cortical area corresponding to the tinnitus frequency, although it
still excited surrounding neuron.

There is a dependency on &quot;training&quot; (from a Discover article):

Even in adulthood, experiencing new sounds can rewire the auditory cortex.
If a rat is trained to recognize sounds at a particular frequency, the
corresponding region of the tone map will get bigger.

From König et al., 2006:

To further examine the relation between tinnitus pitch
and hearing loss, we grouped the patients by tinnitus pitch
(&lt;=3 kHz, 4 kHz, &gt;=6 kHz) and calculated the mean audiogram as well as the mean audiogram edge frequency for
each group
