How long have you had this? I had a head injury which messed up my inner ear. I was diagnosed with SCD (I can't spell the words).

It took some wild testing but I had surgery and the problem went away, a little.

The tinnitus is real light, but the other noises I heard are gone. I was hearing vibrations transported by my bones, so I could hear my heartbeat, and my eyelids moving when I blinked.

@Blake oh my god, that sounds absolutely awful! I'm sorry you had to go through that but I'm glad you found some improvement!

I've had a low-level ringing for as far back as I can remember, but it really started ramping up about nine weeks ago. I clench/grind my teeth in my sleep (Bruxism), so I think it's some combination of that and my fucked-up sideways Wisdom teeth. It seems like it's leading to a TMJ disorder and possibly Masseter Hypertrophy (basically Farquaad Jaw Syndrome, look up pics, it's gnarly). But also my inner ear and Eustachians have been fucked up my whole life, so who knows.

God, I just hope it doesn't get much worse. I had that rushing heartbeat sound for a day or two and it was hell, I don't know how you didn't go crazy! Who diagnosed you, did you go to an ENT? That's my plan once these lotto tickets pay off lol.
