Tinnitus activity in the limbic system and autonomic nervous system, thus increasing tinnitus awareness and annoyance. There are two types of tinnitus: "subjective tinnitus" and "objective tinnitus". Tinnitus is usually subjective, meaning that there is no sound detectable by other means. Subjective tinnitus has also been called "tinnitus aurium", "non-auditory" or "non-vibratory" tinnitus. In very rare cases tinnitus can be heard by someone else using a stethoscope, and in less rare – but still uncommon – cases it can be measured as a spontaneous otoacoustic emission (SOAE) in the ear canal. In such cases it is objective tinnitus, also called "pseudo-tinnitus"
Black-body radiation logically determined solely by its own internal state. The causal effect of thermodynamic absorption on thermodynamic (spontaneous) emission is not direct, but is only indirect as it affects the internal state of the body. This means that at thermodynamic equilibrium the amount of every wavelength in every direction of thermal radiation emitted by a body at temperature "T", black or not, is equal to the corresponding amount that the body absorbs because it is surrounded by light at temperature "T". When the body is black, the absorption is obvious: the amount of light absorbed is all the light that hits
