After looking on google and a self-diagnosis, I think it's possible I have Tinnitus. I don't know what the specific cause is (the concerts I've been to? Jets taking off/landing/taxiing near me?) but ocassionally, without any visible stimulant, one of my ears will begin ringing, just about canceling out all other noise for about 3-6 seconds. I don't get vertigo from any of these "attacks", if you would call it that, which would leave me to believe that I dont have Meniere's Disease. I have a family member who does have Meniere's Disease (used to live with them) and is it possible that the disease is contagious and I caught it?
Is the Tinnitus, if that's what it is, anything to worry about? Should I tear up my medical now or just let it do it's thing when it happens and not worry about it?
