I’ve just started having it (right ear only) in the last month. It’s not very loud, and I only notice it when it’s relatively quiet or I’m thinking about it. Most of the time I’m not aware of it.

I have no apparent hearing loss, but I’m seeing an ENT in a few weeks for the [vertigo I’ve been having on and off for the last three months](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/share-your-experience-with-vertigo-bppv-as-patient-or-medic/967575), and they’ll check my hearing, too.

Naturally, I’m wondering if the tinnitus is related to the vertigo, and hoping they’re not a sign of something more serious. (Fortunately, so far I don’t have any other symptoms of [Ménière’s disease](https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/menieres-disease#:~:text=M%C3%A9ni%C3%A8re's%20disease%20is%20a%20disorder,usually%20affects%20only%20one%20ear.).)
