Yes, it's always happened during the night, except the first time, which was in the early evening (so I suppose it could qualify as "night").

And no, there aren't any exposed wires or cables around (perish the thought!).
In the room where it happened the last time (the living room), there's only my PC (and it's not THAT near :-) In the bedroom where it happened last year, there are no electric appliances at all, not counting a small radio alarm clock (which I never use) - and the night light, of course. ;-)

But they are very useful (not to mention sane ) suggestions.
Thanks!

I have some information that might help you out but at the moment im going for some breakfast.

So when i get back i will edit this post.

Ok...
Bon appetit, I guess.

First off, why does everything have to be connected with aliens and abductions. Im pretty sure its nothing to do with this.... But I will keep an open mind for now.

JQ.

I couldn't agree more, John.
And that goes for the "keeping an open mind" part, too.

As to your experience, it's fascinating.
It sounds very different to mine - considering the apparent source (inside your ear, whereas I feel it as an intrusion from outside) - but who knows, the origin might still be the same.

This buzz you're experiencing interests me, as I experience a constant ringing myself. When I was young, I had 2 surgeries on my ears - not major, just tubes put in to release fluid. My hearing was bad, and I woke up during one of my surgeries while they were working on me. That is a surreal experience.

Since then, I have had this low droning/ringing in my ears. When it is quiet, I hear the ringing over the silence. I don't know if I hear it, or if the ringing is what my brain interprets due to the operations, nerve damage, or whatever. Sometimes, the ringing is very specific, usually in my right ear which is the weaker of the two, except it is very noticeable and loud, like when you think someone is talking about you, or however that tale goes.

It's strange that I don't remember my hearing without the ringing. I do recognize when there's a change in the intensity of the ringing, though.

I'll have to check on your other thread to get more of an idea on this buzz you hear.

If it were a colour it would be a bright white light..

P.S. Thanks for posting this observation.
It's much more important than you may realise.

(If needed, I'll explain some other time. ; ).

Maybe it's some type of invasion we aren't yet aware of, whether it's viral and or extraterrestrial. It would be interesting if someone could start a website to poll people with similar experiences to get an idea of how widespread it may be. Any other symptoms such as tremors or even strange smells?

Well, it definitely feels like an "invasion" - but only because it seems to come from the outside.

And no, no other symptoms.
(I would have related them - believe me. Heck, if I hadn't broken my grandpapa's barometer, I would have reported even the hygroscopic conditions at the time! )

Your event, on the other hand, does sound remarkably similar to a type of migraine that often goes undetected because it's not accompanied by a headache.
Still, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
(And it's not like the docs can do anything about it, anyway. They may SAY, or even think, they can, but they can't.)

Thanks a million, John!

I'd rather not meet the idiot who called it "the Exploding Head Syndrome", but it is extremely interesting, and at least parts of it do apply.

Thanks!

I don't think anyone can remove this ringing.

Oooh, I wouldn't be so sure...
Greater "miracles" have happened.

If I've missed a post, I apologise.
I hope to return here this evening, anyway.

Thanks!

So is this "exploding head syndrome" just a label science has given to something they cant explain.

Yes. Not only that, but - as we can see from the info you quoted yourself - they don't even care or are knowledgeable enough to separate it from what might sound as similar phenomena but aren't really the same thing.

Also, the age grouping... how did they come up with that?
None of the (admittedly few) people I've read about who had the same experience - and myself included - were anywhere near fifty.
(I have a sneaking suspicion that this is their insidious way of associating it - not even knowing what "it" is - with menopause: the blanket explanation for practically anything unusual that happens to females... ).

But it was certainly worth reading nevertheless.

And I hope more people will read this and offer their views.

Its amazing you experience this stuff in a "normal" state

Not really.
And believe me (although I am perfectly aware that it's difficult to believe), this is not a self-indulgent reply, just to keep on talking about yours truly... :-)

What I meant was that in my "normal" state I experience a lot of things that I've come to realise don't qualify as everyday occurrences.
(I am really thankful that I grew up with a mother who didn't conform to the mold that views such things as "abnormal", hence in need to be "cured" ASAP - certainly not by people in white frocks.)

For that same reason, I couldn't really gauge my own "groundedness" (is that a word?).
What I can say is that I am very, very connected to "nature" and the elements.
I walk barefoot whenever I can (I don't even own slippers or any kind of indoor footwear) because I truly enjoy it (there's nothing like the feeling of one's rosy pinkies in warm mud! ), I despise umbrellas and treat them accordingly, I thrive when there is a storm brewing, thunder is Wagner to my ears, and I adore having powerful winds coif my hair.

Why is that relevant?
I don't know that it is. But maybe it is.

Anyway, I hope somebody else can find these "symptoms" of some use.

As for "astral noise", I'll be reporting back my observations as soon as I have researched it properly.

Thanks for the opportunity to discuss this!

Please elaborate. I recall signing a DNR several years ago and possibly taking chemo and some nasty drug called Cipro that made me think I was dying. 5 years later on disability, I'm still alive but my father has sinced died from brain cancer.

He used to tell me for some years that I was delusional and it was ALL in your head.

When he finally informed us he had brain cancer I told him the same thing.(chuckling) That's messed up. Now it seems that everyone in my family has some weird illness.

I've tried changing my diet and I do have headaches in the back of my head and have since recalled this from childhood along with seizures.

From what I now recall from bloodwork at the hospital; they said I had an allergic reaction to salicylates. Probably for most of my life. Delusional or not, I've tried changing my diet now and the list of foods that contain salicylates is very long.

I Keep having tests for STDs every year and they always come back negative. I feel as if they're hiding something from me though. I guess they didn't expect me to live this long either.

I'm reminded of a song from (confirmation) Jesus Christ Superstar: What's that Buzz? (eh.)
