Just before that happened I was taking new meds to help with my lifelong issues of falling asleep and went to sleep with noise cancelling headphones on top of that. It was just for 2 weeks where on some days I skipped them so I took them 10 times. That's the only major thing that changed recemtly that comes to my mind and I suspect it being the case but it may be unrelated and I will be seing a doctor rbout that. The substance is trazodoni hydrochloridum. I wasn't listening to music very loudly but given I've been listening to it almost daily for ever decade as background sound to calm me down I expect my ears to have worn down and it to just have hit me in one go. D:
According to wikipedia, Tinnitus is listed as an uncommon side effect of that drug, so that is indeed the most likely culprit, meaning it is very likely not permanent. :)
Constant background sound does not hurt your ears unless it is over a certain decibel level.
I honestly don't believe it with my luck and I'd rather not give myself hopes and prepare myself for the worst. Today I will rest to let my brain process things and tomorrow I will investigate things more about what's going on. I'm so disappointed with my body/situation in so many ways... :/
I just realised that I should message my psych about that as well since she brought it up unprompted and recommended it to me to try for my sleep issues.
Maybe you never noticed because you've been listening to music all the time.
But certain meds can cause tinnitus. And Covid.
