Definitions

Noun

plural of tinnitus form-of, hypercorrect, plural, rare
"Drs. Miot and Herck divide sounds in the ears into two groups: (1) The noises which really exist in the ears or their neighborhood. They are called entotic and periotic sounds respectively. (2) The true tinniti or auditory sensations which have no apparent cause. […] The tinniti caused by lesions without the auditory apparatus are of various kinds. […] In some mental diseases tinniti are prominent."

Etymology

Erroneously formed by treating the etymon of tinnitus, Latin tinnītus, as a masculine noun of the second declension, in which, in the nominative case, the singular form ends in -us and the plural form in -i.
