Static Noise in Head

[leelo]

Hey guys.

Recently, my tinnitus has been less annoying. I don't even hear it sometimes.

But for some reason, today, when I was suddenly awoken by someone, the static tinnitus noise was so loud and it sounded like it was in my head rather than in my ears. It has slightly calmed down now.

Has this happened to any of you when were suddenly awoken up?

Any guesses why it suddenly got so intense for me?
