That's a classic. But do you also get those 'my ear just got disconnected from my brain and is now slowly getting reconnected through a constantly louder getting eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' for about 30 seconds until you're back to your usual tinnitus?

I get that when I'm either zoned out and come too or when I stand up too fast

For me it's completely random somehow. Like I could be super focused playing a competitive videogame, or lying in bed trying to get some sleep.

Glad to know I'm not the only one though.

Same here. I can go a week or more without experiencing it, and then sometimes it'll happen more than once in one day. There doesn't seem to be any trigger for it as far as I've noticed.

I think of it as our ears recalibrating

I think it happens when I am stressed or have been, but not exposed to loud noises.

Yup! I once had one of which the new tone never went away, so now they raise my heartbeat instantly.
