Just been reading into this.

Electro magnetic hearing

Very interesting, epically having people subjected to radar to test if they could 'hear' it, I've spent a lot of my child hood life within 5 miles of an airport, right under the incoming flight path.

tinitus, a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears is usually a problem with the ear falsely hearing a sound and sending false signals to the brain but in reality there is no sound.

usually associated with deafness, hearing damage or hereditary.

another sign of hearing damage/loss is whats called "the cocktail party effect".
imagine being in a room with 30 or so other people all chattering away and having a great time while someone is talking to you. you hear 30 or so voices but have to tune them out and listen to one just voice (the person speaking to you) and this seems like quite a challenge to do without mis-interpreting some of what was said.

your hearing does not feel any pain, so what may be just good ol' loud music to one person could actually be damaging to someone else but they'd never know. ringing or buzzing in the ears after loud events is a sign your hearing was damaged.

the hairs in your ear that detect sound is much like the blades of grass on your lawn, except the hairs NEVER grow back or repair themselves.

listening to loud sounds for extended durations is like taking a lawn mower and cutting your grass right down at dirt level.
you shear those hairs off at their base due to excess vibration and they never can heal or repair themselves. and now your hearing is diminished because the hairs are so short they dont detect sound as well, and sometimes actually send false signals to the brain (tinitus)

any enviroment with sound will distract you from it during day to day activities, but usually quiet times (eg when trying to sleep) it will get louder as there is no sound to distract you and you will find you really struggle to hear what people say during everyday life (wear ear muffs for a day and you'll have a slight idea of what i mean )

for this reason (tinitus) i always go to bed and watch telly till i fall asleep, usually with cordless headphones on.

ive suffered high pitch tinitus my entire life, my mum suffers a buzzing sound like major power lines sometimes make in hot summers, have various deaf relatives, yadda yadda queue tiny violins etc

I have also suffered all my life (so far as I can remember) I understand the damage and hearing loss associated with noise exposure. But when I have seen specialist's they have always commented on my excellent hearing - they go so far as to say that they cannot test my hearing as I hear everything in the standard test - 0's across the top of the chart, I have the hearing of a young child.

They say I'm 'Hyperaccoustic' which is just one of the hypersensitive conditions. About as useful as saying that ringing in your ears is just tinnitus.

Did you, maybe 1 to 3 weeks, before the ringing began get a dental bridge or filling? My ears have rung for years and I know it is a dental bridge that is causing it but have not had the money to change it.

Metals in the mouth act like little batteries. Each metal has a different voltage potential and then when you add body and food acids, different things happen. Ringing ears is one of them. You may or may not have a metallic taste in your mouth and this can change depending what you eat or drink. This too can vary with the temperature of these foods and beverages.

After a while you pay less attention to the ear ringing but anytime that you notice it is annoying. It has to be unhealthy but what more can you expect from the ADA when they promote toxic mercury and toxic fluoride as being safe.

I'd have to say no there - reason being I have very clear memory's of being very young and trying to explain to parents and other people about this, I was frustrated as my parents (especially my mother) would tell me not to talk about it, I have to say that I love my mother - but she isn't up there with the thinkers of the world, if you catch my drift - she would often say things like don't say that to the doctor, they will take you away!?! she worried unhealthily about very odd things and would refuse to understand others.

But any who - no dental work at that age (I'm thinking 4 or 5 here), but I can defiantly recall mentioning it. As I grew up I have hit my head a number of times - one time in particular a log fell off a bridge and hit my across the back of the head and all but knocked me out (prob 10 at the time). Had 2 or three fillings and about 3 years ago had to have my jaw plated together after breaking it.

I don't think any of those things really affected the ringing sensation, it's just been getting steadily more intense over the years (27 now). Only thing I really have noticed is that it is worse when I'm dehydrated - waking up with a hangover is a nightmare.

Is it, like, when you sit in a quiet room, you hear a high pitched ringing. but it's not in your ears? It feels like you're hearing it, but you aren't really hearing it?

Then, at some points, for no reason at all, it will get loud and everything else will sound muffled?

I experience the same thing. I have no clue what it is and no doctor has been able to explain it.

Exactly like this for me, barely noticeable during the day only if I concentrate on hearining it. Except at night when I concentrate on it its much louder.

I go right to sleep usually if I lie on my stomach, if I lie on my back I teeter on the edge of sleep sometimes for hours. The ringing will get much louder, and twice I was alarmed and wide awake because of it. One time it was acompanied by an alarm sound going off like a fire alarm or something but none was going off in reality...

Here are some random thoughts as I have only noticed it in the past 6months or so...

About 1 year ago started playing guitar (mostly acoustic) so I have been trying hard to improve my tonal hearing abilities.

Also got interested in OBE thanks to the river goddess long thread so I experimented a bit with that. Got the BWG software or brain wave generator which produces tones not unlike the ringing you may hear at lots of different pitches. Only tried using this like 2-3 times and it never produced a concious obe for me.

Also with the past year we started using a 2.4ghz wifi network at home 24/7 which also interfered with our 2.4ghz wireless phones so we switched those to 5.8ghz.

Could be any or none of those causes....

Misc. info the ballast at my work in the lights hum very loud and no one else seems to hear it really or be bothered by it. Its just like they tune it out easier than I do, so I shut off the lights that hum when I get to work.

Also I do not hear the tv or crt making any strange noises so I cant hear those frequencies. I do however sometimes hear strange noises almost like a dial up modem over our phone lines normally only at night.

Also I like to q-tip my ears frequently to get the water and any dirt or wax out immediatley after showering. I do this at least 2-3 times a week if not more. (and shower daily )

Thats about all I can think of at the moment.
