I know I am going to get laughed at for being a fucking retard but I have had severe ringing in my ears for 3 days straight that only seems to temporarily go away after I sleep which is very hard to do with this anyways and can only happen when I am completely exhausted. The thing that I think might have contributed to this is for a while I became paranoid about things falling in my ears or bugs being in my ears and I would counterintuitively dig my fingers around my ears to ensure nothing was in them. Also, it seemed to start happening after I heard the lawnmower guy outside my house maybe messing with the water faucet and I heard a loud squeak after, and my fridge began making a hissing noise. The first time I noticed the ringing it almost sounded as if there was something "depressurizing" in my brain like an air mattress deflating. Now it just makes a loud never-ending EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that literally will not go away. I have even tried that trick where you tap the back of your skull and it doesn't do anything for me. I am already miserable enough as is and this will probably potentially be what sends me over the edge because now I cannot even escape into my internal world and have my thoughts as company. My waifu will be drowned out by this retarded shrill ringing.I know that I should probably try to go to a doctor but I have not left my house in years and I am very afraid to now because I am a disheveled autistic retard and I also don't even know if I can trust a doctor to not fuck it up even further anyways.
>>34835003Watch videos, movies and series and look how people interact. Then look at the mirror and talk to your reflection
>>34835003>I know that I should probably try to go to a doctorCorrect. Look, I know it's hard. I get it, I do. But this could be a symptom of something really serious going on with your ears, and if you don't do something about it *now* the ringing may become permanent, or it may even be the first step towards losing your hearing. Please go to a doctor.
>>34835038How long do you think it will take for it to become permanent? It is becoming so bad that I am thinking of just getting it over with and trying but it feels like all of my instincts just pull me to push it further back and ignore it even though I realize that is retarded. I live in a really shitty area too and that does not help. I know I am being a coward but I just feel that I should try to maybe wait it out. It feels difficult to even type these posts because my thoughts are being muffled by the ringing.>>34835020I suppose I will try this but I don't know if it will help much.

The only immediate solution is to see a doctor.They'll check your heart first, if they don't find anything wrong with it (unlikely) then you should ask for a referral to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist to check your ears for damage.
>>34835003literally, how do you not leave a house for years in a row? don't you go shopping or whatever?Anyway, tinnitus originates in the brain. there are pills that can make it go away. Take a taxi to the doctor, then taxi back, you can make it
>>34835054>How long do you think it will take for it to become permanent?A couple of days.
Whenever I go into my car (with no electronics), there is NO RINGING. As soon as I exit, and go back into the house, it comes back. I cup my hands over my ears in the car, no ringing. I do that in my house, there is ringing. Right now it is a pulsating up and down high pitched noise.
>>34835003So tinnitus
Probably have built up earwax from not cleaning them regularly. Take ear drops for 4 or more days and the earwax will come out. Maybe go to a doctor who’ll flush it out. Either way if its just something you have then your brain will learn to tune it out anyways.
