Hey folks,

I wondered if anybody here experiences or has experienced that you hear a high peeping tone all day long (don't know if 'peeping' is the correct word to use here). It's not that hard but when it's silent it's very evident to you it's there and it won't go away

. And, most important, do any of you know what might help against this as it's very annoying and probably not very good?

Thanks

It's called tinnitus. Stay away from loud noises, and have a fan on in the background to cover it up. Over time it may go away.

And also try not to use headphones, earphones, or anything else that blasts sound straight into your ear. It is most likely a mild form of temporary tinnitus caused by prolonged exposure to very loud noise, say, at a concert or in a club.

If it continues for more than a week or two you could make an appointment with your family doctor.

I highly suggest you get this checked out by an audiologist.

There are things you can do to lower that "peep", and on rare occasions- get rid of it, but chances are that you may never hear silence again. Learn to live with it, or be annoyed for the rest of your life.

I've been to the family doctor and had a hearing test. The outcome of which was that I had good ears, no surprise

. So now I gotta see some kind of specialized doctor in the hospital for further investigation.

Thanks for the replies, now I know I probably got some sort of tinnitus. Hopefully there's a remedy, it's driving me crazy when I wake up and it's all silent except for that 'peep'.

Are you absolutely sure it's not environmental?

So many times I thought I had tinnitus, with all manner of whines, high pitched tones and 'peep' noises, and I find out it's just another crappy transformer or some electrical device a few rooms away. Some battery chargers are so loud I can hear them when they're only plugged in and not actually charging anything. Of course, the switch is on, but the other end is connected to nothing!


Drives me crazy!

Stop eating these.

 

[mbriant]

At least stop putting them in your ears.

ablate your 8th cranial nerve... there might be some minor side effects though.
