High pitched tone in my head all the time

It sounds like tinnitus.  However, my best advice is to see your doctor if you have not done so already.

ya i agree with phillippa it sounds like tinnitius ive suffered from it for the last 5yrs ,ive got used to it ,one of my friends told me at the start not to listen to it if i could and put music on or the radio to blot out the noise ,it did help ,its very annoying i have to say and its caused abit of deafness in one of my ears which can cause problems i did go to gp and i was on some form of tablets but i stopped using them as they didnt help much ,if it is tinnitius there is not much you can do but live with it im afraid . in saying that i would go to the doctor for a deffinate diagnosises to be sure

Guys, is it possible for this ringing to be caused by muscle tension in and around my jaw/head? Because I do have such tention and both the tension and ringing began at the same time.

If this is possible, is it curable?

I have the same problem. BUT, my noise started after something crossed my brain. I thought I was having a stroke. I'm calling it a worm, when it got to the center of my brain the noise when unbearable, my speech changed, I was very weak. After a few seconds it made it pass the center to my right side and who knows where it went. I called 911 went to ER. They did test, nothing. After this the high pitch noises continued. Some days higher than others. At nite I take a sleeping pills ando I sleep, no sounds, wake up sounds like steam escaping from a old radiator.

I'm seeing a neurologist but he has no answers for me. I asked him to refer me to a disease specialist so I can find out if it is a worm in head.

I must say this so-called stroke has everyone curious and without an answer. I have had many lab test and all types of machines looking inside my head but still nothing concrete has shown any thing as yet. Of course I have been doing some research myself and have come up with something new that just may be the problem. The brain could have a condition known as Neurocysticercosis. Treatable with Antiheiminthic Drugs, targeting the worm. There are many ways that I could have picked up this worm. Let me get to the point, I could see a disease specialist or I could take this drug hold Albandazole. This kills the worms that I think are in my head. Nothing else could cross the hemisphere of my brain but a worm of some kind. http://cnn.it1yEskvO

I'll let you know the results when done with Doctors. I live in Georgia USA, was I Philippines maybe got in from uncooked pork. Jack

Hi!

In response , I have had a similar sound may say constant hizzing sound and has nothing to do with hearing loss. I must say that studied massage twice and the nervous system is amazing and yet, I realized that the silent stress from my divorce and constant struggle has caused this. I remembered when separated I stared to have a couple of times the high pitch in my right ear then, went away. I tested myself 2x at chiropractic testing booth with new technology equip n turned out I was seriously chronic like black, red colors meant I needed treatment bad. I said wow! I may look calm but my inner is going at a super speed that eventually I think caused this hissing in my head. It's been 2yrs since the test but the constant sound in the head is 1 year n few months. I really believe it's neurological. Finding myself needing financial security, stability and fall in love with a man who would share with me and love each other till the end of time. I hope n pray there is a solution to end this . Maybe a combination of chiropractic, happiness, massage n live life to the fullest no matter what comes against me in body, mind and spirit. Will be the answer to end this annoying n scary reality to have this condition.

Got it myself. Had it for years (not ears!) In both ears too. Hissing in one, heart beat in the other.

Hissing can be heard above most day to day noises too! Annoying but nothing I can do about it.

Just add it to my other issues!

I had  A small case of tinnitus  And the VA put some kind of thing in my left ear and it went around to the back of my neck,  which the audiologist said was to measure something .  When she took it off it popped in my left ear and then she put me in a booth and did a hearing test. They gave me hearing aids that omitted tones for tinnitus  which do not work .

I later found an "indented scar, perfectly round"on the back of my neck right at my hairline. I now have a ringing in my head that sounds like it's being controlled with the rheostat.  It doesn't ever seem to go away, nor does it seem to be in my ear. It very much seems to be in the left side of my head. 

 I sure don't know what the VA  audiologist did to me but, they screwed up my head forever. I've been to the neurologist and he doesn't seem to know what's wrong.

 I believe the thing they originally put in my left ear and went to the back of my neck was some kind of laser they used to measure  whatever they measure. And I also think that's how I got the scar on the back of my neck, which is quite deep. With all this being said, this ringing has been in the left side of my head ever since, and never appears to get better.

I sure could use some good advice because it absolutely drives me crazy and gives me bad thoughts just to make it go away!
