Something happened totally out of the blue. I don't understand what is going on and I'm freaking out! Maybe someone can help.
This evening I suddenly started hearing a new loud high pitch tone: a messed up and broken morse code. I thought it came from my computer and was shocked to find out it's in my ear. It's a strong broken electric signal with random fragmented fast-paced beeps, varying in volume and sound. There's a mass of overlapping chirps combined with a multiple broken isolated signals. It comes in erratic fast-paced waves; keeps accelerating louder again and again, going in cycles. I have never experienced T like this! The crazy beeps get louder with background noise, so I can't mask it.
I can't think of a reason! I ran errands briefly today - I forgot my noise-cancelling headphones home today, but it was not very loud at any point. The bus was ~70-75 dB and the places I visited were pretty quiet. Only "incident" was when this noisy truck and motorbike came in front of me, making this loud acceleration noise - but didn't think much of it back then.
What is going on? I don't understand this - All my former spikes came from a loud sound exposure as a trigger. What is happening...?
EDIT 1: I think it built up slowly this evening. I kept thinking that the computer kept strange noise, but ignored it. Also had a weird "wavy" fleeting T in my right ear earlier. Then the sound became louder and harsher and I started to look for the source.
EDIT 2: This made me panic, so took strong dose of Diazepam (Valium) to not make things worse. Now just taking a hot shower & then trying to sleep, with the aid of meds. I need to NOT make this crazy new sound stick and anxiety will glue it to nervous system. It needs to go away.
