> The 'ringing' sound people hear isn't actually a sound.

Sometimes it is, apparently?

"If you have pulsatile tinnitus, your doctor may be able to hear your tinnitus when he or she does an examination (objective tinnitus)."

I'm not a doctor but I have good hearing, and heard a friend's tinnitus. Apparently they had a constant muscle spasm that was causing a "buzzing" sound, and if you listened carefully, you could hear it. They eventually got it botoxed and that fixed it (injections 2-3 times a year I think, ongoing).
