How do you pronouce Tinnitus?
1. Tinn-A-Tus
or
2. Tinn-Eye-Tus
Also make sure you let me know where you're from! Thanks, Matthew

[@meric12131415]

Definitely tinn eye tus

[@GaryNichols50]

I know I had always pronounced it as "tinn-eye-tus" probably (I presume) because that was how it was pronounced the first time I ever heard the word (and, yes, I am from the US). When I first learned of the debate on pronunciation, I reasoned that all other similarly named afflictions (i.e., arthritis - bronchitis - cystitis - poliomyelitis - colitis - hepatitis - appendicitis - meningitis - laryngitis) were all pronounced as "...eye-tus".
However, when I searched further, I realized my error. Those are all disease due to inflammation, thus the "-itis" spelling. Whereas, tinnitus has the slightly different spelling because it is not from inflammation, but from a neurological condition. Then, the whole debate made sense.
Out of habit, I usually still pronounce it as "tinn-eye-tus". But if I think about it, I try to pronounce it the medically preferred way, even though both are now acceptable.

[@lakshmanankomathmanalath]

Thank you😊

[@deltalimajuliet5680]

I have used both pronunciations but it always seem like whichever I use, when speaking to a hearing professional here in the US, I get corrected to use the opposite. Thanks for these videos by the way. Best regards

[@timmytopps-qs7pj]

I normally pronounce it “should have turned the volume down a while ago”. Hehe.

[@HearingTracker]

😂😂😂 I hope you're coping! Matthew

[@douglasbaldwin5581]

Funny. This has been a topic my whole 30 year career in Audiology. According to the American Tinnitus Association, it is not so much geography that determines pronunciation but role. ATA says: Tinnitus has two different pronunciations, both of which are correct and interchangeable: ti-NIGH-us is typically used by patients and laypeople while TINN-a-tus is typically used by clinicians and researchers. But I also prefer the latter!

[@judyp6526]

Tinnitus, I’m from England, thanks for the clear info.

Tinn-eye-tis. Been told by different audiologists / doctors I was pronouncing it incorrectly. USA. FWIW Merriam Webster has both prononciations.

[@HearingTracker]

Tony...Both are right! I spent a loooooong time looking in to this. Matthew

[@gbkworf]

Dr. Cliff pronounces it the same as you do! He's not from across the pond!

[@HearingTracker]

This. Is. True! Matthew

Tinnitus is a medical condition in which a ringing is heard, but there is no obvious cause (may be hair damage in the cochlea, though, from loud sounds - one of the causes but far from the only one). An -itis - is used to denote an infection, eg. "rhinitis", Tinnitus IS NOT an inflammation and should, therefore, be pronounced "tin-i-tus" and not "tin-ite-is".

[@freevin51]

I’ve deferred to which person I’m speaking with based on their preference. However, TINN-A-TIS is
My preferred pronunciation, here in Canada.

[@thorinbane]

Tin eye tus also canada

[@hearform]

Tinn-A-Tus: No inflammation involved.

[@mirkoandrejic4421]

At least we can all agree that we hate it what ever it is called.

[@michaelbugh8027]

Why does it matter? Pronounce sinusitis.

[@googoo-gjoob]

itus implies _inflammation,_ having none.... it is *TIN UH TUS*

[@peterraymond1853]
