This sounds somewhat similar to me. Mine started with a single tone last month that, while not overly loud, is very high pitched and so I could hear it over most things. But earlier this month, I also developed a new tone that, like yours, sounds like it comes from external sources. For...

I've had my high pitched central tone for about six weeks or so and I can largely filter it out now. It's the undertones that accompany other sounds that bother me, they are much more noticeable sometimes. For example I can now hear a continuous beep that sounds like it comes from my water...

I have a high pitched tone that is in my head, and another tone that only accompanies other sounds, and this one feels like it is actually coming from an external source rather than in my ears or head.

I'm not sure if I'm going through a spike or something else. For just over a week I've had a rather low frequency tone that only accompanies other sounds such as fridge noise, car engines etc. Even sounds that are very low in volume but constant can produce this unpleasant tone alongside it, for...

Ok that particular tone went away after about an hour or so. I really hope that one doesn't come back, the other tones I've already got are enough!

I have literally just developed a new higher pitched tone in my left ear that only makes itself heard over other noises. It's like I'm actually developing a new tone every day at the moment, this is all very scary.

This sounds similar to what I've developed. It started with a high pitched sound, but over the last few days I have started hearing a more low frequency tone that only accompanies certain other sounds, e.g. fridge noise, a car engine, a hand dryer etc. Even when I hear music, when certain tones...

My tinnitus started (or probably intensified after having a very mild form for a long time) during severe tonsillitis as well. I was on intravenous clarithromycin and metronidazole for about 2.5 days before switching to tablets. I noticed a high pitched sound and recently (less than a month...

Do you know how long after onset you heard the distortion? It was about a month for me. I am wondering if my swollen tonsil has something to do with this distortion I'm hearing, but I have my doubts because the sound appears to come from the source of the sound that it is competing with. For...

Hi Adam, it sounds like fleeting tinnitus, which I think can happen to anyone. It has been happening to me for a long time even before my tinnitus became persistent. Basically it is completely normal :)

Hi Owen, that's good that yours went away. I'm desperately hoping mine does the same soon. I was anxious enough about my initial sound, but if I was given the option to go back to just hearing that one sound then I would take it and run. My biggest worry is that the IV antibiotics I was on may...

After looking into this a bit more it seems like it may actually be more of a sound distortion than a new tone, as I only hear it along with certain sounds. I can hear the actual sounds clearly, just with this extra noise on top of it. Can anyone relate to this? It's not so bad when I can't hear...

Hi all So, for around a month now I have had a constant high pitched ringing sound in my head that cuts through most ambient noise when I think about it. I'm not 100% sure of the cause, but I first noticed it during a nasty bout of tonsillitis. I was in hospital for five days on intravenous...

Mine always seems to be in my head. Sometimes it even sounds like it's somewhere else in the room. I've started hearing a couple of new sounds over the last couple of days, I'm hoping that is just temporary because I'm unwell at the moment.

I'm not sure if this was the cause of mine or not. A few weeks ago I was on intravenous clarithromycin and metronidazole for tonsillitis. However I'm not sure if I first heard the tinnitus before or after this. However, yesterday I developed a second noise which is bothering me a lot more. It is...
