Now Hear This! Now Hear This! | ADHD Information
[QUOTE=GlenW] [quote=Fallen]I also notice it from other electronics if i'm really sensitive that day. When youre ADDled it's may just be because your brain doesnt block all the crap it usually does, so you're aware of most noises.[/QUOTE] Glad to see some people who are like me in this regard!
Sadly these days my ears aren't so tuned. I have tinitus - which has been with me since 17 but is worse as I get older. My last audiologist test showed 10 percent loss since I started my factory job (have to be tested yearly). I go in the sound booth for the test and once it's quiet the whining is overwhelming - it's another reason I fear being in quiet spaces it's so loud then. When other noises are present the tinitus is almost silent.
It came in handy when I fixed computers - I could walk into a bank and go right to the CRT with the screen issues just by following the "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee" sound.
But I still remember going into a TV store and plugging my ears from all the whining and having people look at me like I was alien. LOL - ah the memories.[/QUOTE]

I have had tinnitis for about 4 years, it's not a ringing (I've had that a couple of times) lucky me, mine is a crackling. Thank God after 2 years it went away sometimes or lessened because I was going to knock my own head off eventually...it got worse when I lay down!! I had to stop napping, it gets really loud when water is running and loud noises make it get louder! And vertigo!!! Thankfully it comes and goes now and I take precautions. Can you believe my GP said to me "can't you turn the radio on to sort of drown it out
my disbelief is only tempered by my reluctance to change docs as I like her and there is a shortage. The ENT wasn't much better.
sadly sabina - your doc was giving the only remedy there is really. Once the hairs crash that's that! There is a treatment for when it's ringing - for veterans at certain VA hospitals. They have a sound generator that they tune to your pesky whining companion and leave it on for a while. After some time it forces your ears to ignore the input at that range. It's like your heartbeat - your body filters out the sound or you'd be in bigger trouble!
Hmmm crackling and vertigo over my pal. Hard to say if I'm the lucky one or you are.

tinitus is this lovely ear problem where the hairs that transmit sound to your nerves are flattened - usually the ones at certain frequencies. This means that they are not dead - but making noise ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME! Some hear one tone (like me) - sort of like the "off the air" noise on TV stations. Some hear multiple noises (kind of like the civil defence sounds on TV - those droning ones) - and I'm glad I don't. It's usually caused by too much very loud noise - like working around machinery without protection or loud music. It can also be caused by disease (fevers especially). Mine is a combo of misspent youth, working around chainsaws in my teens without protection, and allergies in my youth blocking my inner ear and tubes around it. All bad.

For Distractionthe ent told me the little nerves in my inner ear are vibrating.....got the feeling he just wanted me to go away as he couldn't fix me so wanted nothing to do w/it. I'm going to see someone else as I have heard that it is water.... [QUOTE=pilgrim]It's a ringing in your ears.

LOL! My husband has it is and wants to put himself on the do-not-call-list. Sadly that 's not as simple as the telephone version of it.
