    Tinnitus with normal audiogram

    Tinnitus may be at 200 or 10,000 khz, which we normally do not test for. Also, you don't need 100% of the hair cells working well to get a normal audiogram. Suppose for example, that 60% of the hair cells were functioning, and you could still get a normal audiogram? Then the tinnitus could arise from the damaged 40%

    We see this in ears where the DPOE shows damage at certain tones, but the audiogram is normal, an...
