Tinnitus/baro or electrical field?

I had tinnitus for years on the left at a predictable level, but six months ago it got dramatically worse. I found out that a new cell tower had been put on our housing roof. Suddenly it seems I now have a tone which slams me the same time every night. I hear a tone, feel tingling in the head, and a spike of inner ear pain. It mostly goes away if I leave the building. It is worse lying down and earplugs, headsets, and a $300 Bose noise attenuator makes no difference.
I have experienced spots in my vision and garbled high-end voices. So I moved. Some of the symptoms remain. I mentioned it to the building owner.

Margret Thatcher and Tesla wrote of electrical allergies. I have had extensive baro incidences in old planes. No significant treatments have been tried.

I do NOT take this lightly; I do not have a clear idea what is going on. Has anyone had a similar experience?

PS: Negative MRI, neurology. Positive for high end hearing loss by audiologist.
PSS: V2S Hypersonic Sound Laser? Bring the tin foil.
