Hey YFL ... Sorry to hear about your hearing.
Well first off tinnitus is generally a consistent thing.
Tinnitus can have many different causes, but most commonly results from otologic disorders – the same conditions that cause hearing loss. The
most common cause is noise-induced hearing loss, resulting from exposure to excessive or loud noises. But tinnitus, along with sudden onset hearing
loss, may have no obvious external cause. Ototoxic drugs can cause tinnitus either secondary to hearing loss or without hearing loss, and may increase
the damage done by exposure to loud noise, even at doses that are not in themselves ototoxic.[29] Tinnitus is also a side-effect of some oral
medications, such as aspirin, and may also result from an abnormally low level of serotonin activity. It is also a classical side effect of Quinidine,
a Class IA anti-arrhythmic. Over 260 medications have been reported to cause Tinnitus as a side effect[30]. In many cases, however, no underlying
physical cause can be identified.

Now,another reasons for these auditory events may be relational to your thyroid.

I know it's costly,but you are going to have to go to the doctor to get this check out.
I could ask you 1000 questions and give as many answers,but the truth is these auditory anomaly's could become serious if you let it go too long.
You really not listening to your body here.
A simple ear infection(even mild) could lead to significant hearing loss if left unchecked.
I hope I've convinced you to go to the doctors.
Have an awesome day.
