I Can't Separate This Signal Type of Sound from My "Normal" Tinnitus — Is This a Real Sound?

[Raphael7713]

So I've had tinnitus for exactly two years. In the large picture, I'm fine, I'm more than fine, and have been for a long time. I can only hear tinnitus when I'm trying to sleep and even then it doesn't bother me.

But today...

I woke up, went to the balcony had a smoke, went inside. Nothing strange. Two hours later I go out on the balcony for a smoke again, and I hear this signal type of sound. I figured it came from the outside. When I went inside I could hear the same noise just as clear. I went out for a walk later on... nothing, no sound.

Before I went on my walk I went into a quiet room to see if the noise was in my head or not and it was quiet.

When I got home I went into my room which is dead silence, and this time I could hear that "signal noise". I don't know if this is a new form of tinnitus, or if I'm tilting myself from a sound that has external source.

Now I've been thinking on that sound entire day and it feels like it's constantly in my head and I hear it.

I can no longer differentiate from a "real" tinnitus or if the sound is real, from a source.

I hope you know what I'm trying to say. I'm just so confused right now and irritated.

Raphael7713,
Can you stop smoking?
Smoking is very bad for the ear and other health problems.
I'm proud of how the anti-smoking campaign worked out here.
