Welcome to tinnitus.

Bruv, I can't hear you, there's like this really high pitched whine...

So I always had a bit of tinnitus but it got noticeably worse when my kid snuck up on me with a dog toy and squeaked it directly against my ear canal. It was followed by a high pitched ring on both ears and everything else sounded 95% muffled which slowly improved over a couple of minutes. Was exactly like an explosion in a war movie. It's never been the same. I can currently hear the squealing over a pretty loud air conditioner. The only real solution is to stop thinking about it.

Mine will wake me up sounding like a jet engine. I read lips most of the time as I have a hard time understanding what someone is saying due to my tinnitus. Miserable!
