That Ringing in Your Ears ...

[Leen-Leen]

Sometimes, at seemingly random times, I get a a small ring in my ear. It doesn't last long, but it's weird. I've had my ears checked and they're in good working order.

My friends, actually, complain about having the ringing, too. Is this normal? Or is it a sign that we're all going to go deaf one day? Have YOU ever had that ringing in your ears?

[Quindiana Jones]

I get it all the time. The ringing that is.

[Decessus]

The phone is rather loud.

[LunarWeaver]

I get that all the time! I figured it was because I listen to music through headphones way too loud and my ear drums were dying, but this gives me hope it's just normal.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

Yeah it probably means you will have hearing problems as time passes by...

[Cookie]

I get it too, and my hearing's fine.

[Dynast-Kid]

Me too!

I always used to wonder why I heard that ringing...And I still do.

[sephirothishere]

i dont get it that bad anymore.........usually when its quiet i notice it.........

[Alive-Cat]

I always have it, faintly, and it's a sound that is contained within my head. I think it's just the inner workings of my brain or something. :confused:
Though I only notice it when it's quiet.

[Dynast-Kid]

i dont get it that bad anymore.........usually when its quiet i notice it.........

Yeah,same here.

[Leen-Leen]

Yeah,same here.

Actually, now that I've started school again, I don't get it as much as I used to. Strange.

The ringing could also mean that you have a more sensible audition if it makes you feel better.

[Cookie]

Makes me look stupid when I ask my friends if they can hear it too.... they look at me like i'm crazy.

It does. It really does.

When I asked my friends about it, they were like, "REALLY? You get it too?! Don't worry, you're not the only one ..."

[Yuffie514]

yes, i hear that almost often. they always sound like flatlines to me. sometimes they're loud and difficult to drown out those stupid sounds. everytime i tell my older brother, he tells me that i am going deaf. one thing for sure is, i do hear better with one ear than the other. i would never admire too much silence, otherwise, these sounds would be the only thing i'd be listening to...

[Tavrobel]

WHAT!? WHAT DID YOU SAY!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU, SPEAK LOUDER PLEASE!

[XxSephirothxX]

I had a lot of ear problems in elementary school due to allergies, and I had a horribly loud ringing in my ear back then. I still have it today, but it's not as bad, and I've just grown to ignore it over the years.

[Sergeant Hartman]

What's that you say?

[Jessweeee♪]

It's called tinnitus. Google it.
I have it too, ever since I can remember.

I've never heard ringing before, but my hearing is probably my second worst of all the senses. First my eye sight of course.

[Psychotic]

I used to have it terribly when I was about 10, and had problems sleeping because of it.

I think it's because of an artery (or vein I suppose) in your ear, and what you can hear is the sound of the blood being pumped through.

[oddler]

I have the same occurrence every now and then. Playing in a band will jack with your ears sporadically.

[Jessweeee♪]

I just get the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep when it's quite. I love that sound, believe it or not.

[Spammerman]

what Jesse said.

[Faris]

I think it's because of an artery (or vein I suppose) in your ear, and what you can hear is the sound of the blood being pumped through.

My mom has something like that. I think her's is pinched, or something rather, and there's no way to stop the ringing.

I hear ringing every now and then. When I tell other people that my ears are ringing they say "Ooooh, that means that some one is talking about you."

[Jessweeee♪]

I thought that was just if your ears were hot?

[Siwolae]

a friend told me a while back that if the ringing is coming from your left ear, someone's saying something nice about you. if it's coming from the right, well....let's just say that you pissed someone off.

[Breine]

It's probably very normal because I've had this ringing in my ear several times as well.

[Quindiana Jones]

I love that sound, believe it or not.

I get a high-pitched, quite, "hmmmmmmmm" with a bit of "beeeeeeeeeeep" in it. I like it aswell, it's nice. We're clearly insane.

[Skogs]

If it always goes away and hasn't been increasing in severity or duration, I wouldn't worry about it.

[Pharoh Amon Khan III]

SPIDER-SENSE TINGLING!!!!

No,... SOMEBODY ANSWER THAT DAMN PHONE!!!


I get that sometime to... It's weird that it often happens more when things get quite.

WILL SOMEBODY SHUT THAT SINGING SKITTLE RABBIT THE HELL UP!!??!!!!!

(ahem) Anyway, it seems to be a common thing with almost everyone. Sometimes I wish I could control it so when I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE YAMMER ON... I can block them out.

THAT'S IT... WHO WANTS HAUSSENFEFFER!?!!!!!

[Rase]

I get it occasionally. I've heard of a variety of reasons for it, but my favorite is that the brain is trying to think too fast and some electricity is building up due to that, causing the buzzing.

As long as it's not this bad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome), I wouldn't worry about it.

[Xaven]

I was told that the sound is simply electricity flowing in your house or in a building.

Yes, I hear it a lot when it's quiet. Though it usually jumps up or down in intensity or pitch, and slowly fades out.
