Hi guys,
I've had tinnitus in some form since I was about 12, when someone pulled my ear at school. However, it never really bothered me, even though it's the loudest of all the sounds I have—a constant high-pitched tone in my head.
I also developed an electrical noise in my right ear after injuring my jaw, but that improved a lot over several months.
Now, I've noticed a strange new sound that only happens at night. It's a relatively quiet hum, but it stops with external noise—rustling the covers, my partner taking a loud breath, or pretty much any sound temporarily silences it. Whacking on white noise stops it completely, and I don't hear it at all during the day, probably because of background noise.
Has anyone else experienced this? What on earth could it be?
