I was watching television and had selected a few comedy programs, and at 8:15pm Canberra time I had on channel 22 "Would I lie to you" an English Comedy panel program. I had my computer on, and had the Cassiopaea Forum page open but hadn't really started reading it yet. It's situated between the TV and the wifi unit. I am connected via ethernet cable, but the wifi is on for other members of the family in other rooms.
The colours on the TV changed, as if one of the electron guns in the TV had died, the characters took on weird faces with really colour enhanced lips and darkened skin, as if the contrast had failed.
At the same time I felt a pressure in my head, and the tinnitus was magnified and much louder.
The first thing I did was to change channels, to see if it was the channel or the TV. The other channels were OK and the colours were good, so that ruled out a faulty electron gun. Back to the original channel - the sound was OK but I had a blue screen now, and still had that pressure in my head.
I changed channels a couple more times, but it seemed it was only the one channel that was affected.
I got up, and moved out of the room, thinking it might be a directed attack.
The tinnitus eased off somewhat, so I spent a moment or two out of the room, then went back in.
After a couple more channel swaps, the colours on the TV settled to something more watchable, so I left it at that. By now the tinnitus was also more bearable.
I am wondering if anybody else has experienced something like this. The tinnitus has been a nuisance to me since 2008.
