Tinnitus can be divided into subjective and objective tinnitus. Objective tinnitus would be like if you have a heart murmer and the pulse of that is transmitted to your ear. Your doctor can hear that with a stethoscope. That would be an objective tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus, which is much more common, only the patient can hear themselves. It can be in the form of a ringing noies, or it can be a pulsation of their own heartbeat as well.
