Hi all,
just in reply to the neuroma post, I also hear a high pitched frequency which is continuous (one of the reasons I got on to this forum). But I would just like readers to consider other possibilities before they all panic and think they have a tumor!
I had a toothache recently, and with the pharmacy being closed (it was after closing time) I picked up some aspirin, (I.E. Couldn't get ibuprofen) which I can use as an analgesic (painkiller), however, after taking this, I began to become aware of the tinnitus (which in my case was a continuous HF sound, like a whistling sound). After some investigation I discovered that one of the ingredients in the ANADIN tablets that I had been taking was Quinine, which according to the Wikipeedia (see article on Tinnitus) causes cichonism, Tinnitus arising from excessive doses of Quinine which of course was in the tablets I was taking (and I probably had taken too much - anything to relieve the tootache). I put the side-effects of some drugs as another possibilty, before we get into conspiracy theories, and other insane ideas, lets consider a rational natural cause.
