Deafness Due to Tinnitus. Is It Conductive or Sensorineural?

[Suheb]

Hey just would like to know that the hearing loss that is been caused by(or associated with) tinnitus is considered as conductive hearing-loss or sensorineural hearing-loss?

Hi, Suheb,

I'm no expert, but just from some of the reading I've done, it seems to be sensori-neural most of the time. Please see the link below:
