strange ear disturbance (Page 1 of 2)

i do occasionally get a rumble but i'm definitely not aware of any pitch variation. it lasts 3-5 seconds usually. in my case i get the feeling it is in some way related to the muscles surrounding the ear as they seem to tense up coincidentally. it happens a few times a week but i have never found it uncomfortable.

maybe your tinnitus is doing edits

You're definitely not alone alex, I get it too every once in a while, slightly spooky bit not uncomfortable...like the mothership trying to get a fix on my position, must be those damn implants...

bias, that's the funniest thing you've said in a long time...

someone is trying to contact youfrom the other side

Once - before I used to drink a lot of coffee - I had a free second one offered to me not long after I had drunk one for the day. Not wanting to knock back a freebie I agreed - abut 10 - 20 mins later I had such a strange experience, same funny effect (high pitch humming sound) with my hearing, kind of tunnel vision but not quite the feeling like my skin had air pumped up underneath it. I was sitting right next to my boss and she didnt notice anything, but to me it was like swimming through liquid electricity. Then it kind of dropped away. I think that the problem was that I had also taken some ahstma medication which works the same as caffeine and in combination it kind of made my body overdrive. Maybe the sound was a bit of added pressure on your inner ear. Just a guess

was it coffee or crack?

haha

I sometimes get this really nasty nagging noise in my ear, then I do the dishes and she shuts up.

I get shit like this all the time

yeah, while odd, there seem to be no negative side effects afterwards. I have it a few times a year, at complete random occasions.

What bothers me more is when my own voice, just speaking at normal volume, makes my left ear hurt, or vibrate in a painful way. sometimes regular sounds do that as well. i don't listen to mp3 players anymore, I will only put on head phones to mix records these days, seems human hearing has a limited lifespan when abused over a long period of time. At least my liver is invincible.

I hope that in the future there is a retirement home for Robots4robots. We'd all be cupping our ears, "WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN?"

sometimes i get sine waves when i sit too long at the computer or wake up after i slept in an uncomfortable position. my doctor neighbour says it's probably due to the circulation problems, which is also one of the cause of the notorius tinnitus

nope BUT it can be replaced. which makes it invincible in a way.

what we really need though is hearing system transplants... there's a huge market for that!

finally plonked down the cash for some fitted elacin plugs. haven't got a tinnitus but still strange things happen sometimes. it's like my hearing is going down for a few moments and comes back on again. like a reboot... weird shit.
