"The HUM", a persistent Low Frequency Noise

I also have a constant hum in my ears but I can also feel the vibration that the hum is giving off. I am not convinced that it is tinnitus but theres quit a large area that tinnitus symptoms falls into. I also hear random voices talking in the distance so I cant hear what they are saying but can hear the sound of voices.To be clear ,I do not hear voices talking to me and I have done extensive research on Mental health issues and even treated for some. I read an article somewhere -wish I wouldve saved it- that said "there is no such thing as silence because your brain will make up its own sounds when there are no sounds to be heard" there was more to it that I cant recall but that being said it made perfect sense to me why I hear things that arent there. I thought I was going nuts. I cant hear very much in all actuality but I can hear things that arent there and that made no sense to me. So everybody hang in there theres an explaination out there somewhere. How to treat it is still a mystery but an explaination helps some people.

I have had this humming, ringing, and a "band playing" in my left ear for the last 2 years. I have had the hearing test, the exam, etc. . I also told my dr. what I am hearing and he pats me on the back and says, well, as we age, bla, bla. I am only 67. I was 65 when it started. I feel like he just blew me off. Where do you go from here? So my friend told me maybe I should put a noise machine next to my bed and see if that helps. I tried several different sounds and decided on rain. For the most part, it has been helping a lot. In fact, I will not sleep unless my machine is on. But lately, I am hearing voices. I would turn off the machine thinking who is talking outside my house? Thing is, I live in the country. Our houses are far apart from each other and obviously there are no busy streets, sidewalks, etc. where there would be people. It scared me. I thought, okay, this is a fluke. Whatever. Really trying not to freak out. But night after night, I kept hearing people talking and it seemed as if it was coming from the machine. And as one person wrote, he isn't hearing voices talking to him; he is hearing people talking. I was relieved to know that I am not going crazy. But please, by no means am I happy that anyone else is suffering from this affliction. I feel for that person. I so feel for that person. I started to try different sleeping positions and have realized that if I just stay on my back with the machine right next to me, it actually sounds like rain. (without the talking) If I try to sleep on my side, this is when everything starts to sound distorted and the voices start. This is so bizarre. It really helps to read about other experience's. I don't feel so alone in this. I hope and pray that someday they will have something that will help. There has to be an answer; a treatment; something!
Listen to solfeggio tones on YouTube it's a Godsend. You have to find the right tones for you though. I listen mostly to 432hz.

I also have the hum, voices and, for added variety, at times popping and a bell ringing. It seems worse after being in noisy environments.
