Thanks, earscan. I have high pitched tones running in my head....mostly from my right ear...that good, relaxing music helps more than anything. In the hospital, I put on the 'calm' channel....(I think?) and relax or go to sleep with it relaxing me and readdressing my attention to something lovely rather than the high, constant crickets. Do the same at home sometimes, with 'soundscape' music channel. That's relaxing music but nothing recognizable. If I recognize it, I think the music and won't sleep at all! I've grown up around classical and other good music, loved pretty much all except loud!!!!bothered me all my life! or rambling, with no purpose. Funny, didn't realize that, but I do need the music to be going somewhere, from somewhere. My right ear also feels like and sounds like it's full all the time, like there's fluid on the eardrum. Doesn't seem to be any there, but something isn't right and hasn't been for many years. So, guess I'll find out soon and WILL let you know. I can't afford a hearing aid the way I know them.....ear buds would be great!!!!! Blessings. Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth, it sounds like you have tinnitus. There is a lot of information on this if you want to join the tinnitus group here on Mayo clinic. Hope you find the help that you need.
I have constant ringing/"air leaking" sounds in my ears - it can be very irritating. I get relief from hearing aids that amplify ambient sound. So much so that I now wear my aids around the clock. I have a "day" set and another for overnight. They are the rechargeable versions.
Tinnitus can be rather annoying. But...you get used to it. I've had a "swarm of 17 year locusts" in my head for about 35+ years. I am fortunate that this particular sound is not as annoying, since it reminds me of our country life with the sounds of "critters" of all kinds. This is SO much better than the ringing, screeching sounds that some people have! I do have a sound machine for nights, but my locusts are much louder than it is, but the ocean waves are pleasant. **There is NO cure, so don't be mislead by such claims!
