Reply to Scott K: Like auditory hallucinations, sometimes tinnitus "plays back" some sound you've heard...that day or decades ago. It might be possible that you're "hearing" your old office environment replayed. If I'm exposed to more sound than usual (pretty quiet here), I often "hear" some of that sound during the night. Perhaps it's possible that our ears never just "make up" sound, but always play back something we heard at some point in our lives. Of course, norms can't begin to understand all this!

You are much more eloquent writer than me but that is exactly what I thought was going on. About 75% of my hearing loss is genetic...I have 5 other siblings and all of them suffer some degree of loss. The other 25% was industrial noise and not worrying about hearing protection until I was 40. It is interesting though that some people exposed to loud noise(shooting range for instance) never suffer the same degree of hearing loss!
