Hi all,
I am not sure if I have tinnitus or not. It really does not seem like the low, vibrating hum I hear (only within my house) is coming from inside of me, but no one else can hear it. I have shut off the electricity at the fuse box, and the hum is still there. It is not present all the time.
It is a low hum without an identifiable source, always in the background, yet it can completely dominate my awareness. I noticed today that while I am talking, the hum disappears. That is actually what makes me think it might be some form of tinnitus.
I do not have a clear sense of whether it is coming from one ear or the other.
I have never heard the hum outside of my house.
What steps can I take to find out for certain if I have tinnitus?
Honestly, I feel like I am going mad not knowing where this hum is coming from.
I do tend to get earwax buildup, and I spend a lot of time in the ocean, so maybe I have developed some kind of ear issue?
Thanks, everyone!
