Tl;dr: last night my weird electrical tinnitus gave me an electric shock all down my head and neck. Looking for some advice on how to proceed.
About 6 or 7 weeks ago I developed a hissing sort of sensation in my head that moved to my right ear overnight suddenly a couple of weeks ago.
Ever since, it's morphed into this electrical buzzing sensation that actual feels like there is a tiny electrical short circuit in my ear.
Over the past couple of days, the buzzing has turned into a more consistent hiss that I can feel as well as hear.
Last night before I went to sleep, the hissing suddenly stopped momentarily and I had what felt like an electric shock all down my head and neck. The hissing then started up again.
Has anyone else ever experienced this before? I know there isn't really much I can do about it but I'm wondering if anyone has had this sort of transition of their tinnitus and where it ended up?
At the moment mine seems to be changing on an almost daily basis and I'm a bit concerned about the trajectory.
It's also decided to get massively reactive to pretty much anything to the extent that I have to wear ear muffs around the house to stop it spiking through the roof and making my whole head buzz.
I should add that in my other ear I had a high pitched 'eee' sound and a low rumbling sound which disappeared a few days ago and have been replaced with a reactive chirping noise that is triggered by the slightest noise (even just the noise of typing this is making it chirp).
I'm 7 weeks post acoustic trauma.
Any advice or support is very much appreciated. Losing my sanity at the moment.
