As pointed out above, this is probably not vibratory - as that goes away in a day or two. Have you been taking any medication recently? i was prescribed zantac a couple years ago and it gave me really bad tinnitus. It can also be caused by tension in the mandible joint (I have a TMJ problem.. I clench my teeth when I sleep). Caffeine and alocohol are vasoconstrictors so that is why it can get worse when you ingest them - it restricts bloodflow.
