[…] The tinniti caused by lesions without the auditory apparatus are of various kinds. […] In some mental diseases tinniti are prominent.
ref: 1897 March 27, “Tinnitus Aurium”, in George F[rederick] Shrady [Sr.], editor, Medical Record: A Weekly Journal of Medicine and Surgery, volume 51, number 13 (1377 overall), New York, N.Y.: William Wood and Company, →OCLC, page 447, column 2:
text: N had a large number of subjective tones or tinniti, which made perception of the weak tones difficult and unstable. […] Liminal determinations were also attempted with N for Tone 3, but very distracting tinniti of about the same pitch made these determinations very irregular and unreliable. […] N shows a larger scatter of judgments than C or R, probably because of his tinniti. […] N’s tinniti continued to render his observations difficult. R, shortly after the completion of the preliminary experiments, contracted an infection in the eustachian tubes and middle ears which gave rise to numerous auditory disturbances, ranging from roaring and rushing sounds to the more common forms of tinniti.

text: When tinniti are due to a bad labyrinthine fluid pressure, the patient usually compares them with an ocean noise or a gas leak, wherever the labyrinthine fluid pressure is increased or decreased. […] A series of 376 French and foreign patients who underwent a revision operation have had a computorized survey over a two year period, for the hightone tinniti over 2000 Hz, which usually do not stop after the revision surgery. In 43% of cases, the intensity of the tinniti can be increased or reduced, after only a few seconds with this fluid pressure tinnitus test.
