How Did Your Tinnitus Start/When Did You Notice It the First Time?

Wondering how everyone's tinnitus started?

I'll never forget it.
I was out with a friend, nothing crazy, Drinks, dinner, a bar or 2, but nothing really loud. The next morning I heard it, and it hasn't let up since

It started almost a year ago. I went to sleep at around 9pm, and woke up 2 hours later. I had a little bit of wax impacted in my right ear, and it was bothering me, so I put my finger in my ear to try and remove some of the wax, and that was the first time I heard it. Sometimes I wonder what would have been different if I had just slept through the night.

It was a dark and stormy night...

Mine started slowly over time. The ringing would come and go and eventually over 7 months it became constant. Not sure if it started due to getting whiplash or from loud buzzer.

Mine started 26 days ago and has gotten louder since. No particular reason but I did have a cold a week prior, I am an anxious person and when I went in to see the ENT the audiologist said I had significant hearing loss which the ENT believe I have had for a long time. I'm 42 female
