hi, im 18 and about 10 days ago i was laying in bed and became aware of a mild ringing in my left ear. it really worried me to start, i kept myuself real occupied and it kind of slipped my mind. a few days later i became aware of it again and it still bothered me. anyway i was sitting in my friends a couple of days ago and the ringing seemed to be in my head and a lot more noticeable, high pitched and constant, like the sound of the tv before you tune it in. ever since then its been the same, and i cant ignore it although it doesnt affect my sleeping. i went to the doc and he said its unusual of someone of my age to develop tinnitus,(i mentioned drugs i had taken prior to the ringing and he explained it was unlikely these had brought it on) and said it would probably clear within a fortnight. has anyone experienced this before? did it go eventually? i only ask hoping for reasurance as this is a really unusual feeling.
thanks
