On and Off

I don't really know where to post this. But now over 4 weeks I've had a high pitched noise in my left ear. It started at 4/10 I think. Since I don't hear it outside or in crowdy places, or even in a silent forest. But just in my room, bathroom, hallway, u get it. Not at the dinner table though because conversation blocks it out too... Anyway, now it has these periods where it's 1/10 then 5/10 again and it varies or sometimes it's gone. But mostly it's at 2 I guess. What does that mean??
My tinnitus isn't there because I listened to loud music, it's not noise induced so. Does that mean it's the stage before it goes away? Or..?
