Hi everyone!
I'm a 23 year old female. I've had tinnitus in my right ear for 4 years now. The official cause of it is mixed hearing loss caused by otosclerosis. I've had the same 3-4 static and slightly hissy tones for these 4 years. I went through the hell of habituation at first but then got to a point where I could completely focus on the noises and not be bothered by them. Until a new tone suddenly appeared 3 weeks ago.
The new tone sounds like a standard high-pitched tone except it sounds like it's outside my head. For the first week, I thought there was something ringing outside my window. I'm currently living in a college dorm and I was so convinced of this that I requested a room change! But I am in the new room and still hear the same tone "outside the window." I visited my parents in America (I'm going to school in England) and I heard it "outside the window" there as well. Does anyone else have an external sounding tone like this? Why did this come on suddenly after 4 years of consistency? I was perfectly fine but now this new tone is driving me nuts! I can't sleep.
As a side note, I got a blood test last week and found out I have a vitamin D deficiency and that the iron in my bone marrow is a little low? Would this affect my T? Sorry for the ramble. I'm just so mad that my T has become a problem in my life again.
