I am no doctor and I don't have tinnitus but I know a lot of people who do (plus a fair number of people with arthritis, too) and I can see how arthritis could do something like that. your brain is focused on the area because you have pain, and while your attention is so focused there it also notices some other things that it would ordinarily ignore, like extra sounds in your ear, and some part of your mind tries to focus on that instead of on the arthritis. I sympathise with you tremendously. I hope this condition doesn't last.

I have fibromyalgia, and thyroid cancer. I was experiencing the ringing in my ears for a while. It turns out that they had switched me from Effexor to Zoloft, because of my depression. When they did this, I was having ringing in the ears due to the smaller dosage of depression meds. I just wanted to mention this incase you were on them.
I also experience tinnitus when my sugar is elevated, or when I take higher doses of lower-tab or other pain medications.
So check and be sure it is not a side effect to any medications you are on, especially the pain meds for the arthritis. Maybe it is just to strong, and need a smaller dose.
Good luck, hope I have helped.
