I always get some sinus allergy something-or-other in the fall with drainage, sore throat, coughing, and whatnot. This year for the first time, a couple non-consecutive nights, I had what the Internet said was called Typewriter Tinnitus, this rapid, incessant, light tapping somehwere in my inner ear. It was like high-speed Morse Code that never stopped. Thankfully it was only when I was laying on my right side so I just didn't sleep on that side, and it only occurred maybe three nights throughout a week. But even experiencing it that little bit gave me a taste of how unbearable it must be to have something like that all the time, I really feel for all you chronic sufferers, hopefully you can find relief soon.
