I am a total hypochondriac and suffer from severe OCD most of the time. When I am in an almost completely silent room, I can hear a faint, extremely high pitched ringing in both ears. My guess is that I've had this forever and that my OCD is just focusing on it now. I'm not sure if it's actually tinnitus or if it's just how the brain interprets the sound of silence. I usually have to be really focusing on it to hear the sound. Is this tinnitus? Does everyone experience this?
