Because I can't actually hear that frequency. If I play sine waves through ear buds and increase the frequency, the highest pitch I can hear through the earphones is lower than the pitch I "hear" through the tinnitus.

About how much higher do you think it is if you followed the curve?

AFAICT, my hearing tops off at about 8kHz and the tone is a major fifth above that, i.e. 12kHz.

Quite interesting in terms of the mathematics and physicality of the harmonics. Thanks for answering.
