Cause of Tinnitus
unknown
When I was a child, I noticed a toy, when operated closed to my ear caused a ringing sound, that lasted a short while, then went.

In my 20s, I would go to conerts, and again noticed ringing in my ears the next day.
ok. Tinnitus. But it was never an issue, and always seems to go away.

But what I get now is different. Started a few months ago. Firstly it's not located at the ears. The frequency is high, and will change pitch, for no reason, and then change back again.

I thought it might be noise pollution. So I've started to wear earplugs more often, and actually it seems to helps with managing the problem, especially when I ride the motorbike which has a roar near the ears from air flow, but doesn't stop it.

But I'm not convinced this is tinnitus.

Okay. So you think this is outside noise pollution of some sort? Picking up on high pitched noises and such?
