Strangest thing. Has this ever happened to you?

Strangest thing. Has this ever happened to you? Sometimes, for no reason, at no particular time, I will hear a cymbal like sound in my head.

Sometimes, and only sometimes, when this happens, if I shake my head or squeeze my eyes real tight, it may happen again or may not. I can't control it. Sometimes it happens 2 or 3 times in succession or only once.

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one this happens to and if so, why? I don't get headaches, and I don't feel any different when this happens. Weeks or months my pass before it happens.No set time pattern or when I do or don't do anything in particular.

That must be the oddest form of tinnitus I've ever heard of. I've merely a constant ringing that will occasionally change pitch. And, yes, if I do the eye-squeeze or the head-shake, I can at least affect the volume.

But for the sound to be a sudden "crash" type sound is one I've not heard of. I suppose it's possible. The current thinking on tinnitus is that it is like a dropped microphone: damage to the fine hairs inside the ear set up feedback (which is the high-pitched sound one hears.) There is an ear-drop called "Ring-Stop" by "Natural Care" which I got from Puritan's Pride vitamin venders, but I stopped using it because it didn't really work for me.

You could try that as a cheap experiment.

I know exactly what you're talking about, Specially when you close your eyes really strongly and It gives you a numbing sensation, and sounds start to fade away till they become very quiet! I think its because you constrict blood vessels near your eye but no you're not alone I thought I was the only one too till just now! .

1 I was doing something like that when I was in a great deal of stress. But when I got to a calmer time it went away. In my case - imagine a great loud sound and the moment just after it.

I was getting the "moment after" without the sound. But I knew it was different. A few times it was if I heard the last tiny part of a great gong sound.

2 I periodically hear a single "phone ring" that didn't really happen (I know, because I often turn the ringer off, and I still hear the sound once in a while). I, too, am under a great deal of stress. This user has been banned from Askville.

3 Minor auditory hallucinations are sometimes caused by the brain attempting to put a meaning to something it hears. We do it all the time; it's how the brain sorts signal from noise. Sometimes, it gets it wrong.

Once fixated on the sound, it's not hard for the brain to find it again if you try. It's also, very rarely, a symptom of a deeper neurological problem. Very, very, very rarely.It's the sort of thing you should mention to your doctor on your next visit, just in case it forms a pattern with some other symptom.

But it's probably not worth a special visit.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
