Earlier in this thread or a related one, I noticed people talking about earaches. No earaches for me but something else is happening.

Lately, especially today, I have been noticing that the normal tinnitus (ringing in the ears) has increased. I've always had it but it didn't interfere with my hearing which is extremely acute. lately it has been much louder and has gone up a couple of octaves in frequency.

Anybody else noticed this?
