What is the perception of sound in the head or ears when no outside sound is present?
Correct answer: Tinnitus

bpatterson9619, have been living with the buzzing in my ears for years. 24/7 cannot stop so have to tell myself its part of my life so just embrace it

The constant sound and hearing loss drives me buggy! I empathize with anyone suffering like this. Wish there was something we could do to stop the noise.

I have had a high pitched ringing since ringing in my ears since 1991 (about 10kHz). In addition to the ringing, recently, I hear a roaring sound. Both become louder when my blood pressure goes up. My military service continues to take things from me.

Mine is loudest whenever it’s quite around me. I have to sleep with the tv on to mask it but this has problems with my husband trying to sleep. Therefore we have separate bedrooms. Tried everything including ENT and was told I’d have to live with it or take tranquilizers. Can’t decide which is worse.

Annoying, is really what it is.

What isn't mentioned in the facts above is that Tinnitus is also connected to problems caused by Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction.

Mine started about 10 years ago and it was frightening at first. You get used to it.

I hear crickets in my ears plus ringing.

I can't remember not having it. I just try to ignore it as best I can. I used to play in a band, I used to listen to loud music, I've had a few heart problems, I've had some anxiety problems, I've had some serious head injuries. What causes it? Probably in my case it was the loud music. I don't know...

I have it too, but mildly. I don't often notice it, unless the topic comes up or its quiet.
Dalia
I knew this because there is an advertisement in tv about a medicine that prevent this disease haha

IVE HAD TINNITIS FOR YEARS, BUT I DIDNT KNOW IT

Both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy suffer from tinnitus caused by being too close to an explosion on an episode of Star Trek.

Cherokeeprincess3, Sometimes I can hear sounds we aren't supposed to be able to hear!
there was a time when I could hear police and ambulance dispatches in my head at night while I was trying to sleep!
The Sheriff's office was only 6 blocks away!
I would wake up my wife and ask her what she said, and she would tell me I was crazy!

HellaciousUndead5433, I've had it most of my life,got it when some older kids thought it was funny to clap their hands over both ears to watch me fall out in pain, blew up my eardrums and had to have surgery to repair them!
I've never known absolute silence since, but I no longer even notice it most times anymore!
It's loudest at night when there isn't any other noises!

Quietum Plus is a dietary supplement development for clarity of mind, focus, and a couple of other things. It is said to help with tendinitis as well.

Jevo
Been living with Tinnitus for as long as I can remember but sometimes I get a really loud whistling noise in my ear, much louder than the constant one I already have, that only lasts a few seconds but is really uncomfortable
ALBATOR13
bpatterson9619, the cause,could be WI-FI....try turning it off .

EA, I had breast cancer ! Radiation & chemotherapy caused my tinnitus! 10 years now but I try to ignore it by using music or keeping active & not let it consume me! When I’m ill the tinnitus gets louder.
MG
HellaciousUndead5433, I have the same thing. Had it for decades due to ear infection and loss of hearing. I just live with it, as I have gotten used to it.

ChampyShaman58890, Thank you for your service!

If you have tinnitus and haven't been to the doctor about it may I suggest you do. After reading about it here I went to see my doctor and it can indeed, as it says here, be a sign of an underlying health issue x

I've had this for most of my life, started around age 6.

Mine since 2016 now days used to it

Cherokeeprincess3, me too! nice to know I'm not alone

This isn’t quite accurate. The perception of a sound when there isn’t a sensory stimulus for that sound is better understood as an auditory hallucination. Tinnitus is a kind of simple auditory hallucination (of ringing or buzzing) as a result of damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.
Rajul
The sound usually goes away for me if I lie down or press on the nerve near my neck. It gives temporary relief for sure. Otherwise it is maddening :(

Have had it for 26 years now,it's annoying.

Player #SassySLR, try headphones with soft music

drjojo007
I'm so sorry to all those affected by this condition; I'm saying a prayer for all who suffer right now.
Tinker
Player #SassySLR, I used to sleep with mine on also but I used the timer now. I said it for about an hour once I'm asleep it doesn't bother me.
Hanoj
I’ve had mine for many years now, at first it was depressing, but then I just learn to accept and live with it. It’s ringing right now, but I choose not to answer it 😁
sandie
I have the pulsing tinnitus and soft ringing. too much anti- inflamatory meds and hearing loss. tried lipo-flavinoid seems to help but takes a while.

Player #41860452, I believe that too...especially if u have a defibrillator getting to close to large electrical items...
