Tinnitus is persistent - it does get louder and softer but seems to be present all the time. The volume doesn't seem to have any relationship to the VS or other symptoms.

I don't recall when it started - sometime in December or early January. It may have started wth the VS.
For years before I got the VS, I would get Tinnitus maybe once a week for around an hour so I didn't notice it wasn't going away at first.

- Generally seems louder in my left ear
- Is an extremely high pitched constant tone - no variation, a very clean tone
- Occasionally I get a dual pitch, 2 pitches together, which lasts 15 minutes or so. The second pitch is roughly 2 octaves and a semitone lower and more closely resembles what I used to hear on a regular basis.
- Sometimes the Tinnitus is barely audible - would need a silent room to hear it,
- Sometimes it is very loud, and I can hear it over a loud television or even a Vacuum cleaner.

A few times I have woken up at night with very bad VS, very closy resembling a full field Aura in brightness and intensity and my whole body fely like it was buzzing. I think I heard a faint buzzing too, but I can not say for sure. If/when this happens again I will try to be more aware of what I am hearing.
