Can you hear what I hear?

I suffer from Tinnitus, and sometimes the noise does seem to be outside the head. If you are hearing this everywhere you go, it is a possibility it is Tinnitus

BECAUSE YOU CANT HEAR THEM DUE TO THE BUZZING IN YOUR EAR

Hello all, and thank you for the responses. I think many are right, perhaps a trip to the GP, although I am loath to take up surgery time with something so silly!

PS How odd (not) that I'm getting adverts for hearing aids at the bottom of the page! Although the wording "Pensioners Go Crazy For New Totally Automatic Hearing Aids" is annoying on many levels, as

A. Although now 60, I do not get a pension, and therefore am not a "pensioner"
B. Even if I was a pensioner, I some how doubt if I would be going "crazy" for this product.
C. WHY ARE THEY USING SHOUTY CAPITALS FOR EVERY WORD?

How far is work from home Phoenix? Because if you can hear it there as well, it sounds to me as if you need to see your GP. But if work is very close to home, it could possibly be an environmental thing. Have you got wind turbines nearby? Lots of people report hearing a constant hum from them.

As you can hear it at work and in the car it is obviously a problem you have, that coupled with the head pain is really one for the doctor, not to be diagnosed on here .

I'm determined to solve this mystery now!

Jalima I’m glad you said about the humming sound. We have had that this year, at night. It is definitely outside because when we shut the bedroom window we can’t hear it. We asked our neighbour across the road, and he can’t hear it. We wondered if it was something to do with the street lights, but short of going out and standing under one (which, whether I was swinging my handbag or not, could give people entirely the wrong idea (or a good laugh!)) it’s difficult to know!

DH has a phone by the side of his bed ….. a landline.

I will investigate, thank you

All electric appliances that charge have a transformer that hums, DH doesn't hear them but I do. Upstairs we can have five or six items charging at any one time.

Jalima, do you have any electric clocks? Some of them hum loudly.

Actually, Elegran that could be an idea, I'll check to see if we can hear it if a window is open at the front.

Yes, we do - however, there is a switch on the landing which operates it and believe me, DH would always check to see if it's been left on

I wonder if the pipes 'hum' in the attic after the loo has been flushed.

Is it a street light with a bulb that is about to give up?
There is one outside and I wish it would give up!

Is it a street light with a bulb that is about to give up?

I know this might sound odd Jalima but do you have a light in the loft? My parents complained about a humming noise and we finally traced it to a fluorescent light in the loft that had been left on!
Also my neighbour asked me to help her find a hissing noise in her bedroom. It was a radio behind a curtain that was on but 'off station'.

We are detached but I know what you mean about the fluorescent tube. We have a couple under a top kitchen cupboard, rarely used and they do hum; we've never left one on at night.
DH is like The Queen - goes round switching lights off

Jalima If you are not in a detached prperty, could it be a neighbour’s appliance - perhaps a fluorescent tube? A friend had one that hummed under a (top) kitchen cupboard and she kept it on all the time because there was a problem with it coming on if she switched it off.

I also have tinnitus and it sounds like it’s coming from outside of my head too.

Meant to say i like your heading but now I can't get that song out if my head, thanks!

some nights I can hear a humming sound which is enough to stop me going to sleep. I thought perhaps that it was tinnitus but when I mentioned it to DH, he can hear it too. We can't find out what it is - it's not a fridge or freezer as it never seems to stop.

In fact, I can hear it now as the radio isn't on.

I think it's alien spacecraft phoenix

Well done mcem!

OP the phone idea sounds worth checking out but if not then definitely a doc appointment as you said about having pain.

I would go to see the GP. Have you been away where you could have picked up a tick? They can hide in the weirdest of places and neck pain can be a symptom of lyme disease. Best get it checked out.

Once in class, a very precocious 10 yr-old boy asked, with a smirk, what oral sex was.
I answered that I wasn't 100% sure but it could be that people were simply talking about.
I then suggested he should ask his parents!

Might sound daft but it's not something you've set on your mobile phone is it?
I spent ages trying to work out what an odd noise was one day, turned out to be OH's phone!

' aural sex '

I was going to suggest that it was the electric wiring in the house but then you mentioned the car. We used to have a light switch that made a fizzing sound.

Coolgran would that count as aural sex?
