Hey at least it's not an eye, and sometimes hearing less in this modern ever-more-verbose world of ours can be a blessing.
I have tinnitus too. For my own health, may I ask what degree you were experiencing it before it switched off?
Exactly. I'd be upset if it were my eye, surely.
I don't have noticeable tinnitus. At least not in a way that I've heard other describe it. Nothing too distracting. The inability to localize via sound is the biggest difference.
I had all but perfect hearing in the morning. A few hours later, I was unable to even hear the physical manipulation of my ear. It went from 100% to 10% in an hour, then that 10% faded over the next 2 or 3 hours.
The first indicator was what, upon any other occurrence, I would deem an insignificant event. I heard a slight high-pitched whine, and the hearing faded, which lasted for about 3 seconds before returning to normal. It happened maybe two or three more times before I started noticing it not returning to 100%. That was it.
