Q27 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Whenever I am in total silence (usually), I get this ringing-like sound. It gets louder too. I've had it my whole life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 yeah join the club. i found that if i'm in bed or somewhere really quiet, stick your fingers in your ears for 30 sec - 1 min, then take them out. it gives some temporary relief, at least enough for me to fall asleep.

It's never too loud. I don't think I always get it in total silence. So who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KY Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Solution: Listen to loud music to drown it out. but honesty, I've had the same thing since I started playing drums back in the day. From what I remember, ringing in the ear is not always tinnitus—I may be wrong though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I was at a party last night doing visuals and I was standing in front of the decibel monitor and it was steady around 109-110 which was a lot louder than allowed. No need to say that my ears have been messed up all day. Ps. Bogdan Raczysnki was the first one to destroy my ears 5 years ago. Congrats to him.

Guest abusivegeorge Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ringing in the ear is not always Tinnitus. As far as I know Tinnitus is constant, and never goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ezkerraldean Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 i sometimes get it. whenever i have a bout of the old orthostatic hypotension, brief tinnitus always accompanies the greying of vision and dizziness. quite fun really.

OneToThirtySix Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Turn on a fan. White noise relieves it, to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inteeliguntdesign Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I had it a while back, particularly when I sat down to read in silence, but it went away. I was fairly ill at the time with metal poisoning when I had it. I've never had any problems with my ears apart from that, unless you count failing to hear foreign words properly a lot of the time, but I guess that's fairly normal. I don't even go to concerts that often. I saw afx in 2002 though, a gig in london when his support played a high pitch noise continuously until most of the audience had their fingers in their ears. Proper good it was. I heard white noise helps, too, but I never tried that when I had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
