Hissing Sound Exacerbated by Air Conditioner?

I have a bit of the hissing T in my right ear and I find that it can be made worse or at least more noticeable when I sit near my air conditioner. The AC is on the wall to my left when I watch TV and sometimes (not all the time depending on who knows what) the right hear hiss gets crazy loud and annoying. It's like the A/C and the hiss in my right ear somehow make the hiss louder. It used to be pretty much anytime the A/C was on and I was near it but I went through a spell when the A/C didn't have any effect at all. Right now as I type it's not bad but before it was starting to act up. Maybe like all T, it's just a matter of focus but the first time this happened I certainly wasn't thinking about my ears at all. Anyway, just another weird thing with T, anyone else have this?
 
Mine doesn't sound exactly like yours, but the air conditioner in my car causes my T to spike for 15 seconds or so, then it dies back down. I can't hear my T OVER the AC when it's on, the noise from it just causes a mini spike, which is kind of weird because noise usually doesn't affect my T....
 
The A/C in my car doesn't do anything to mine, maybe it's not loud enough or maybe my T just chooses randomly when to get irritated. As I sit here right now with the A/C on it's not acting up but it can decide to any moment. T is so weird. If humans ever do cure this condition, I'm going to be fascinated at how they do it. T just seems so random and illogical and there are so many varieties. I doubt it will ever be cured but it sure would be cool it it was.
 
AC in certain supermarkets does it for mine. Don't think my car one does. The PC I'm sat next to right now does.
I think its reative T/hyperacusis. Before my H came back many of the sounds which spike it now didnt.
