Several weeks ago I awoke during the night to a high-pitched sound. I thought maybe the wiring in my old digital alarm clock had finally malfunctioned, but when I turned over, the sound was still in my right ear, though that ear was now firmly against a pillow.
Last night I awoke to what I thought was a mosquito but again discovered that the sound was inside my right ear. It sounds a lot like morse code and makes it terribly difficult to fall sleep again. I could still hear it a bit when I got up this morning and checked the pitch against my keyboard. It's an F#, which could explain why most of my songs lately have been in G. Of course, being most comfortable and capable playing in G on my guitar could explain that, too.
