Funny... In 2011, after a flu, I've woken up with a terrible T. It was LOUD. I've got voluntary eustachian tube opening, and when I sneezed once, I '''accidentally' opened them... I've spent a week with a loud noise in one of my ears.
The loud noise eventually completely subsidized, but THIS noise stayed. The noise of a quiet room, where you don't know if it is normal ambient sound, or something in your head, or something you always heard. Only way I could explain it was the low noise of old tube TVs, same noise that some hear when clenching jaws. You don't quite hear it, but feel it. Well, eventually this noise went away too... I mean, I don't know if I still could hear it, but I simply forgot about it to the point of remembering T as a thing from the past, while still feeling this noise sometimes. I even thought of writing here, that I've got ridden from that, but dem feels of just seeing the tinnitustalk.com address... Not good. Now I see the importance of writing here back!!!
Thing is, I've never endured loud sounds. Have been to nightclubs and concerts 4 times in my life. Now, past month I've been to the movies and remembered the movie was a little too loud... Came back home and went to sleep. Woke up the next day with this "sensation", and with my jaw very sore, but I am not convinced the loud sound was the reason (I am passing through a stressful moment in my life too). Also, not once I woke up after sleeping in a awkward position with clear T in one of my ears. T would stay for like 30 long minutes, and would disappear. But was that loud T, and I would know it was my neck position...
But after waking up this day, with this new "sensation", I immediately remembered those dreadful days and thought to myself...
"Damn, got the T for real, or not, what the hell is this, is this sound?"
However, it is not simply a white noise in one of your ears. It is something buzzing and pressuring inside your head. Also, never experienced ear fullness and I also don't have apparent hearing loss... Tube tvs and high frequencies annoy me a lot!! Neck and head pressure can modulate it, but clenching or moving can make it real LOUD. Also, sometimes, I notice it is pulsating somehow.
Thing is, the T I ''feel'' now seems completely different from that T which I could "hear". This one seems mild, yet sometimes don't. I have no idea how to explain it... Just that it annoys the hell out of me. Sounds like an imaginary high frequency drill in my brain.
Anyhow, just wrote coz you were the only one I saw here which described your T as the clenching sound... So, was yours noise induced or not at all???
