Play that tune (tone)???
« on: August 25, 2006, 04:27:25 pm »
 A new game show just for us ANer's


Question?

How many different tones can you identify inside your head ( or your AN ear)???

Answer???


Is it just me or is the tinnitis intensified when the headache fairy  is visiting?

I think I have an entire  symphony going on in my head today.

When I have a really bad headache (not for a while, though) and I'm laying down, I get a 747 whizzing through really fast :o. Used to be alot worse but has gotten better over the past few months.

The latest thing I've been hearing is whistling, for the past few days, and I can't concentrate on much if there's anything going on around me.  Headaches have been ongoing for the past week :(

Oh, Static, condolences for the scourge.  Is it letting up any?  When it visits me I cannot even go to the screen most of the time, have to stay in bed when it's so bad.  Hope it lets up very soon.

Great thread!

I live with a merry little band of high pitched bell ringers, but on occasion are replaced with the sound of aircraft, usually helicopters. I can change the level by moving my head in different directions. The louder the noise around me, the louder my tinnitus gets. I also get a swooshing sound when I get up in the middle of the night.

Question:  has anyone noticed an increase in the "inner noise" when one turns one's eyes all the way to the AN side??  For me it's like turning up the volume, an interesting effect.  Comments?

Peanut - Yes! Isn't it weird. I wish I knew why this happened. I asked my doctor, but he was stumped.

Me too.  I've asked more than one doctor, but still no answer.  Actually the only answer I care about is how to send away the head pain demon and the dainty fairy too!

Wow now I have a volume control for the box of tree frogs that I've got my head stuck in!! I just turn up the Buffett usually. These days, I hate silence.

My doctor told me I wouldn't "hear" in that ear anymore.  Obviously, he hasn't had the surgery.  LOL

P.S.  How DO you get the smiley faces into your message????

Peanut,
  The tinitus increases in volume for me when I move my eyes quickly left or right or up or down.  Odd.

I heard/read somewhere (maybe here) that what is happening is that the brain is trying to make sense of the tinnitus and starts to create the things that we hear. I think I hear the radio turned down real low, or in the other room.  There's been more than one time that I've tried to figure out if there is a radio going somewhere. Happened to me this morning as I was waking up - I thought the clock radio was on.  It wasn't.  Either that, or some Alien Lifeform is trying to communicate with us via signals that we haven't decoded yet.  And I'm sitting here, looking like a complete Idiot, turning my eyes every which way to see if I detect changes.  ::) I'm not sure if I do or not.  Maybe.

But, yes...weird it is.
