Do I Have Objective Tinnitus?

Okay, so...I've had this chirping sound in my right ear since my acoustic trauma (though I also got a constant tone if I plug my ears, but that's a different issue). Couple days ago, just for the heck of it, I did put a recording device next to my ear and Lord behold, I think I got something recorded.

Here is the recording with background noise mostly (and poorly) removed:

Do you hear the intermittent chirping/beeping/whistiling noise as well or am I crazy? If you do, then I guess I got objective tinnitus and I found something that could explain it:

"Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAE)s are sounds that are emitted from the ear without external stimulation and are measurable with sensitive microphones in the external ear canal. At least one SOAE can be detected in approx. 35-50% of the population. The sounds are frequency-stable between 500 Hz and 4500 Hz to have unstable volumes between -30 dB SPL and +10 dB SPL. The majority of the people are unaware of their SOAEs; portions of 1-9% however perceive a SOAE as an annoying tinnitus."

Though sadly, I'm not sure if there is anything more I can do to it even if it's objective.

 

Bump

 

I have a similar issue. An occasional 4300hz chirp every 10 seconds. I don't know if this means something can be done about it though.

 

I hear this as well. It's taken me 16 months to figure out that my chirping sounds *may* be objective tinnitus. Mine is intermittent, and gets better/or worse with different head/neck positions. I've been reading lately about Palatal Myoclonus and Middle Ear Myoclonus. Still hopeful I'll find some kind of intervention.

 

@SillyMama your mentions of jerking eyes and tinnitus better/ or worse with different head/neck positions may start with cervical spondylosis – neck arthritis where bony growths may compress the vertebral arteries. Together or with very little age progression spondylosis - the vertebral arteries may indicate some age atherosclerosis of the carotid artery resulting in chirping sounds that are often intermittent. This would not be the 'Circle of Willis'.

There's some very successful medications and treatments for this.

 

Thank you VERY much, Greg! I'm off on the trail to research cervical spondylosis now.
I appreciate the suggestion. That sounds like it could be a very likely contributor to my sumptoms.
