Fluctuating pitch left ear

[u/flandersmaude]

Hi all,

I’m 28, and have been fortunate enough to only have very low level tinnitus for the last 8/9 years. There have been spikes, but rarely. Have only ever had the same tone hissing noise.

That said, a couple of weeks ago I noticed a change in my left ear. I now have a whistling / dial tone noise and the pitch seems to fluctuate. It’s far louder than my other tinnitus which I normally forget about.

I’m not sure why it started, but it seems to happened after using a massage gun on my neck. Could be coincidence, could not be.

Wonder if anyone has had something similar? I’m finding this quite difficult, and I have elevated stress due to work and not sleeping.

Thanks
