high pitched sound

Sounds like tinnitus. (I have this, but less often than you, and I wouldn't describe it as loud. A friend of mine has it constantly since he went to a loud rock concert as a boy.)

I have VERY few memories of my life before I was 11.

Wow.

When I was 8 or so I thought it was strange that I didn't have any memories from before I was about 4. Based on that, my interest in science and space travel, and my general weirdness, I decided that I was probably a space alien changeling. (Note: I no longer think this.)

I have upvoted you for being cute.

I decided that I was probably a space alien changeling.

Whoa. So did I. I'm not sure how much I really believed it, but I know I spent the better part of a night camped out in my cousin's backyard trying to convince him of my alien origin. I was probably 7 or 8 at the time.

Yup, definitely tinnitus, thanks! My hearing isn't that great, so this is probably related.
