Your post struck a chord with me because I have been having these internal vibrations for about eight weeks now and tinnitus as well. I began to notice a low level humming sound in my ears. At first I thought it was something outside of me. I live in a multi-occupancy house and there are five apartments. I wondered if one of my neighbours had installed something that caused these vibrations and sounds. The people living above and below me said they could not hear anything and hadn't experienced any vibrations.

I thought it may have been my refrigerator causing the problem, but the sound was not quite the same. Coming home one night I noticed this same humming as I walked up the road to the house. I had just come back from visiting a friend in London. I was passing by a building owned by the water company and thought it was coming from there. I wrote to the council about it. I then contacted my landlord's agent to see if they had any ideas.

It was only when I heard the humming while I was at a friend's house that I began to realise it was coming from inside me and that my tinnitus had returned after about thirty years. I also experienced these vibrations when I was sitting down outside on a park bench. I can only feel them in my backside then, instead of in my abdomen where I mostly feel them. They are not so bad at night time now, but still bother me in the early hours of the morning while I am in bed and about to wake up. I am assuming there is a connection between the vibrations and the tinnitus, since they both started at the same time, but I am not certain.

I saw a doctor, arranged through my local NHS surgery practice, but she was very dismissive about it and put it down to anxiety or stress. I don't believe that because there is nothing I can pinpoint in my life that I feel anxious about! Since retiring last year I have been feeling pretty relaxed. Her advice was to listen to relaxing music and have more hot baths!

I havn't had a good night's sleep since this started. Three mornings during the week I keep busy by doing voluntary work alongside others so I don't notice the tinnitus. I live in the UK.
