My tinnitus began about 6 weeks ago. For seven months prior to that, I had daily headaches. The headaches were never properly diagnosed; a neurologist chalked them up to stress. In truth, I have been experiencing a great deal of stress in my work life, so this seemed reasonable. One day in mid April, I woke up with my usual morning headaches plus something new - loud tinnitus. The chronic headaches never came back, and now I am stuck with the tinnitus. The two are clearly related, When a particularly bad bout of tinnitus dies down, it morphs into a headache. Sometimes, I have both at the same time, and they both seem to originate in the same part of my head (lower forehead).
