Does Anyone Have A Constant Buzzing Sound In Your Ears?
My wife wanted me to ask the group if anyone has or ever had a constant buzzing sound in your ears? She is 71 and has worn hearing aids for several years. However, the buzzing sound was there long before she started wearing hearing aids. Has anyone ever experienced this sound and if so, any suggestions on how to get rid of it? Thank you for any help that you can offer her...Bill

Correction: SPFT music, not “self music.” Typo.
No! I meant to type SOFT music.

1 ReactionI hear crickets all the time, and sometimes the ocean or lots of wind
I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this, but I am so relieved I am not psychotic. I have BiPolar disorder and you can imagine what I thought. Hearing music no one else could, I stand amazed that I am not alone in this situation, and comforted by everyone who took the time to write. Thanks to everyone.

1 ReactionValerie,
Thanks for suggesting Amer Tinnitus Asso. I’ll look into it. The music I hear is not constant. Occasionally I will abruptly realize that I have no music in my head. None whatsoever. There is no reason for it to come or go, no triggers. Fortunately the voices, usually men in a chorus, are beautiful, and I can never hear actual words to the songs. I usually ignore it as though it’s music “piped in” from somewhere, and I’m grateful it’s soft and beautiful.I don’t usually stop and focus on listening because I don’t want it to distract me. If I accept as an odd fact that it is beautiful, that helps me tolerate the oddness of the situation. I wonder how my own brain is creating these particular songs. Until now, I haven’t tried to learn about the condition. I also have ADHD, and I don’t dare let myself turn my attention to such an absurd thing as music that only I can hear. I already have enough trouble staying focused and on track.
I never knew anyone else had “musical tinnitus.” I wish you well!

1 ReactionOh yes. Tinnitus began about two yeats ago and I am now 81. I’ve had diminished hearing over the years. So much ‘research’ regardiing tinnitus but no clear cut solution. When I wear my aides not aware. When I meditate sometimes not aware (and this without my aids). My audiologist is great. So wearing phonax for little over a year. Please share more. Would love to be connected. Take care. Carol e. Sandytoes41@gmail.com
Thank you all for sharing your experiences. This morning I had to put up with my 'musical ear' playing "Kansas City Star' by Roger Miller over and over and over. 🙂 I was able to switch it after a while to something even worse. Have been concentrating on writing for the past few hours on my computer so it's all gone now! It does help to stay busy with something that involves thinking!
For those who are concerned about and interested in tinnitus, I also suggest you go to http://www.hhf.org The Hearing Health Foundation is a research organizations that is doing considerable research on tinnitus.

3 ReactionsWOW, either I’m lucky or not, my tinnitus is a problem that I seem to have forever. I do not hear music, just that constant buzzing. Am I missing out.
I have pretty much learned to ignore it, but as I write this in the unite of my living room the buzzing is quite Loud.
I think you just have to live with it., sorry!

2 ReactionsOMG! That’s wnought to drive a person to drink.
I don’t know where you live, but I would search out to nearest Mayo Clinic and set up an appointment. You have nothing to loose.
Good luck
Rob
I focus on it to sleep and meditate.
