Cacophony of Irregular and Oscillating Tinnitus Tones

[in_the_shadows]

Is anyone else dealing with dozens of irregular, oscillating tinnitus tones daily?

After months of relatively stable tinnitus with some ups and downs, I took Amoxicillin, and now I'm experiencing an intense spike. It's a maddening mix of chirping, sparking, ringing, whistling, static, and other random sounds—almost as if my hearing cells are on overdrive. None of the tones are regular or stable; they all seem to rotate every minute.

Yesterday, I had to laugh because one of the tones sounded just like an opera singer.

@in_the_shadows, if it helps, the type of sound—though sometimes more distressing—is actually meaningless.

I experience all sorts of sounds that vary. Without any treatments, the specific types of sounds don't really matter.

Unless I'm missing something? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're probably right. I'm just puzzled why most people have stable tinnitus, and I'm stuck with an orchestra.

I have a whole orchestra of tinnitus. It reacts instantly, even to low-level sounds, and eventually causes other nerves in my head to send jolts of activity.
