Hearing phones ring?
« on: June 06, 2007, 08:11:03 am »
I am SSD.  Aside from the tinnitus and some of the other popping sounds I get I always hear phones ringing.  Guess what,they aren't.  Doesn't matter if inside or out a few times a day I think a phone is ringing and its not.  Just wondering if anyone else has this.

Yes, I experience the same thing and can't begin to tell you how many times I have "heard" a phone ring, only to pick it up and hear the dial tone. I will even ask my husband "who called earlier today" and he says "the phone never rang". Well it did in my head >:(

Yes I have that, the girls at work get a laugh every once in a while when I fly across the room to answer a phone that isn't ringing!

Yes I also think I hear the phone ring all the time.  What is really bad is when I put my cell phone in a place where I don't normally keep it, and it rings and I can't find it.  That drives me nuts.  When I use my hair dryer I hear crickets in my deaf ear.  I use a ear plug when I dry my hair to keep the crickets away.  BB

one good thing about cell phones ... you can change the ring to something else.... thats NOT a ring.. but a song or just something different .. so when you hear ringing.. at least you know its not your phone...

Can you believe I've never had a cell phone. Don't know if land phones or cordless phones allow you a diffferent ring?

Funny I just got some new house phones, I set one to play xmas songs  LOL  My neighbors phone makes animal sounds. Scares the heck out of me everytime I'm there and her phone rings.

My problem with my cell phone is I hear it ring, I just can't find it!!  I now have it set so it rings, lights up and vibrates!!  I can even find it in the depths of my purse :D

I don't hear phones ringing, but I do hear, on occasion, a door slamming shut.  Soon after this sound happens the back of my head feels as though it swells?  A head ache follows after the swelling.  I feel silly writing this as to most it must sound strange.

Arushi,                                                                                                                                                                                     

After 20 months one thing I learned is nothing sounds strange or silly.  Forget my phones ringing, I now hear thunder.                               \
