Could This Be Tinnitus, Or Something Else? Posted: 02-19-07 09:23am
I experience this low hum tone in my ears
and head and it's getting progressively
worse. It used to be infrequent but now
it's more or less constant. It's like as
if there is a low hum sound outside. It
only happens when everything is very quiet
and then the hum takes over but stops when
there is other soubnd going on when I
speak or when the phone rings, or music
etc..
I wnt to google and typed in....low hum in
the ear and was surprised that some other
people also experience this. Could it be
too much caffiene?
The sound is extremely low on the
frequency scale, between 30 and 80Hz and
apparantly according to a report that some
people are picking up this low frequency
sound that other people can't hear.
This is driving me crazy at night when all
it quiet, I just dread the quiet at night.
I don't hear it when I'm alseep and
dreaming.
