Do you have tinnitus?
Poll of the Day

Both pronunciations are technically valid.
And honestly, most of the officials PSAs I've heard always use tin-EYE-tus. And have since the 1980s.
My perception of it has always been that Americans tend to use tin-EYE-tus while British people seem to say TIN-eh-tus. So I've always just chalked it up as a regional issue and accept either (in the same way I don't see any real difference between aluminum and aluminium).

I have a pretty mild case from listening to loud music .
it's TIN-it-us, not tin-ITE-is. it's not -itis which would mean inflamation/infection.
