F tinnitus.
Have had it for many years. It’s usually a high pitched sound. I had ear infections regularly as a kid. The doctor used to come to the house and give me a shot of penicillin in the butt. Ended up having my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 5. I’m 75 now. I believe mine has been caused, and/or worsened by prescription medications I have to take for various things like hypothyroidism and hypertension being just two of them. It’s worse in my left ear, which is surprising since the eardrum in my right ear was punctured when I was in my 20’s. Periodically I get the sound of what I describe as glass crystals clinking in my left ear. If it starts when I’m in bed, it will stop if I turn on my left side. I’ve had hearing tests, and been told that I have small ear canals.
Did you write that? If so nicely done!
funny but I can actually give a visual of what mine sounds like!! picture 3 - 7/8s, a 4 - 5/8s and a few 7/16s wrenchs being dragged along like beer cans on a just married car. and then someone is on a switch turning the sound on and off sporadically!! that is what mine actually sounds like!! drives me nuts sometimes!!
