I've been dealing with tinnitus for eight years and have learned to tune it out, but recently something has changed. I've noticed that my tinnitus now includes new noises, but only when certain frequencies are being played.
When my fan is on, I hear a low-pitched buzzing, like someone mowing the lawn from far away. Yesterday, it went as far as making my ear vibrate slightly. Certain songs make me hear high-pitched notes that aren't actually there.
This change came with a list of other symptoms that I suspect might be part of an infection, but I can't fully identify which one. My nose gets stuffy and sometimes runs, one ear gets clogged and alternates between ears (usually accompanied by mild hearing loss). I experience no pain, fever, or significant facial pressure. Someone mentioned I might have hyperacusis, but I don't have any discomfort, pain, or heightened noise sensitivity.
The new noises aren't very loud and can be easily drowned out or ignored, but I'm still anxious. Has anyone gone through something similar? Did it resolve within a few days or weeks? Thanks in advance.
