Tinnitus and autistic migraines

Over the last few days I gave it a lot of thought.

I get tinnitus attacks every now and then, here and there, and I couldn't find a reason behind it

For me tinnitus feels like drilling, piercing sound getting deaper and deeper into my brain, as if someone was pushing a needle into my ear, Intensity of it varies

I started paying attention to change in environment when it happens

Todays mild 5sec long attack happened after I turned on a boiler

Though I did not hear anything I would swear.

Can it be similar proccess to striplight's buzzing causing migraines? My brain deciphers it from what my ears pick up?

In other words - can tinnitus be another form of an autistic migrain?

You can get ear migraines but I think they usually cause dizziness and vertigo. It’s possible though that you’re hearing high frequencies of sound within the boiler that most humans can’t normally hear, which are causing sensory overload

I have no idea how to test it, I did ordinary test for high frequencies to check if I can hear frequencies of a dog whistle 22k-25k Hz, and it's no, I can hear up to 16k Hz, which is normal for my age, It must be something with decoding the brian is doing, higher fruequencies embeded in lower somehow or influencing lower, ear picks lower, and brain decodes it

yes it does, super imposition of sound wave functions does that in math

I can hear some cat scarers, not sure of the frequency but sometimes I don’t actually hear them at the very high frequencies but they make my eardrums contract. Maybe there’s still pressure in the air from the sound of it’s loud but inaudible if that makes sense?
