Yes, it's called "Musical Tinnitus". I had COVID late March/early April 2023. My first symptoms were an odd rash on my right thigh and right ankle - misdiagnosed 3x; still returns and tho' it looks different, it's miserable - that with edema.

In the late Summer/early Fall of 2024, I started having tinnitus - the 'usual' kind (buzzing, whooshing, something that sounds like a flock of birds) AND musical tinnitus. My mother had it before she lost her hearing. AND lo and behold - BOOM, my hearing began to go - couldn't hear the TV or even my spouse next to me at dinner at home if his face was turned away. Finally was tested by an ENT in late 2024. Was told I had a sinus issue (those I've had; this was different) and hearing loss that was significant.

I'm NOT saying you too will lose your hearing. I read this today from the AMA. (I have a google alert set for Long COVID and at least skim all articles, read some like this bec it was from the AMA. We are all different in what we get and when and how and severity. I too HATE that it's never ever quiet "in my head" - and tho' I make light of it (referring to my different "stations") it is annoying. IF you've not had your hearing tested, do. What I've read about tinnitus is that it 'fills spaces' where hearing should be.

I know it doesn't help to know that others are going through this. I wish we could all be in studies and then help someone find help for each of the symptoms which is what the article said is pretty much all they can do now.
