Its just really random. I'm in the middle of a movie and a random high frequency sound comes into my left ear. FUUUUUU-
Or I'm just going to get a coke and a high frequency sound comes into my right ear. FUUUUUU-
Does anyone else get this?
Yeah, I've had this sometimes. It happens when you lay in bed too I've noticed.
What the HELL IS IT?!
Got one today, was really loud and actually caused pain.
I thought id gone randomly deaf.
Sometimes.. shaking my head makes it go away for some reason
I know that a high frequency is caused by the TV, though you would only really notice it of you concentrate on it. For the rest, deal with it.
I get it sometimes. I wonder what it is
What the fuck is wrong with you people, you are supposed to make your audio so loud it drowns out the alien communication. Whenever I listen to music I make sure I can hear it from the next room through my headset.
It's actually the government sending subliminal messages directly to your brain. Some can notice it, others can't.
I DON'T HEAR IT ANYMORE. :smith:
First part is sarcasm
MY AUTOMERGE
[QUOTE]Hearing ringing, buzzing, or other noises in your ears is known as tinnitus. While it's not unusual to occasionally experience mild tinnitus, some people experience recurring, severe tinnitus that interferes with their daily life. Although doctors can't always find a cause for a person's tinnitus, there are a number of conditions and situations that often lead to tinnitus.
[B]Hearing Loss[/B]
1. One of the most common causes of tinnitus is age-related hearing loss. As we age, our hearing gradually declines, and in many cases this decline is accompanied by tinnitus. Although scientists aren't sure why hearing loss can lead to tinnitus, one theory is that damaged cells in the inner ear occasionally misfire, sending random electrical signals to the brain and causing you to hear sounds that aren't there.
[B]Ear Infections[/B]
2. Ear infections often cause people to hear ringing or buzzing in their ears. These sounds generally go away after the ear infection clears up.
[B]Earwax[/B]
3. Tinnitus can also be caused by a buildup of earwax. Although the ear canal is usually self-cleaning, earwax can sometimes become impacted, creating a blockage of the ear canal. Such a blockage can cause you to hear noises in your ear. Once the earwax is removed, the tinnitus usually disappears.
[B]Loud Noises[/B]
4. Attending a rock concert or visiting a noisy construction site can cause temporary tinnitus. Long-term exposure to excessive noise often results in both permanent hearing damage and tinnitus. According to "The New Yorker," close to half of the American soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are affected by tinnitus as a result of the loud noises they encounter in combat.
[B]Medications[/B]
5. Many medications can cause you to experience ringing or buzzing in your ears. The severity of these sounds usually increases with higher doses of medication. Some medications that can cause tinnitus include certain antibiotics, some cancer medications and high doses of aspirin. Your tinnitus will most likely subside if you stop taking the medication in question.
[B]Seeking Help[/B]
6. If the ringing and buzzing in your ears becomes more frequent or prolonged, make an appointment to see your doctor. She will examine your ears and try to discover the cause of your tinnitus. If your tinnitus is not the result of a condition that is easily treatable, your doctor can help you find ways to live with your tinnitus. Common treatments include medication, hearing aids and maskers.[/QUOTE]

Also no, to stay on topic.
i hear [B][U]HONK HONK[/U][/B] sometimes
I think it's something to do with blood pressure, I go lightheaded and hear a slight high pitched tone when I get up too quickly in the morning.
One time I got it so loud that I yelled and I couldn't hear myself.
Was kinda scary.
I hear it a lot, but I never really paid much attention to it. I'm hearing it right now.

That was actually pretty good. Have an Artistic.
What many people refer to it as "deafening silence". It usually happens after you heard something loud, or if you use headphones often.
A while ago I used to hear "Ready for Work" in the voice of the peon from Warcraft 3 in my head so vividly I thought people were actually saying it.
Yes, and its driving me insane since I dont know what it is or how to make it stop.
Oh you mean that constant tsss when there's silence it bugs me a lot but it goes away.
Yeah, I had Tinnitus sometimes. Sounds quite bad.
Well I get it once a month or so, so I think I am fine and I am not aurally impaired (I think that is the word)?
:tinfoil:
I have tinnitus, it's not that hard to live with, you barely even notice it, except for when you try to sleep, you hear it but it doesn't really prevent you from falling asleep.

Eventually you'll stop noticing it.
I have chronic Tinnitis, but I only really notice it when I'm laying in bed at night.

Pretty sure everyone has that.
Of course you would hear it more when you are trying to sleep. Thats because most of us dont have music playing when we are trying to avoid noise.
That ringing sound you hear which gradually fades away is the 'swan song' for the specific cell in your ear/nerve which handles that specific frequency. Once it stops ringing you will never hear that exact frequency again.
(this may be a myth - its what I heard once apon a time)
