What Are You Listening To?

[Markubis]

Does the ringing in my ears count?

I can relate. I enjoy my music when I can feel the guitar riffs.

I've enjoyed my share of them too. Now I try not to listen to music that loud anymore and try to preserve as much hearing I have now. Luckily I can still hear great, it's the constant ringing that's annoying.

Bob Seger Radio, Stick Figure, The Offspring. That was the last two days of random music.

I don't get the ringing, but I can hear my pulse echoing in my ear. It's not bad during the day, when it sort of drowns in all of the other noises, but at night when I put my head on my pillow, it reverberates back into my ear, and since the pillow is blocking out all of the background noise, it's the only thing that I hear. That's pretty damn frustrating, especially when I'm dog-tired, but this stupid pulsing echo is keeping me awake. I can't sleep on my back either, coz then my snoring is bad enough that it will actually wake me up (there's usually a nice, loud snort just as I'm on the cusp of falling asleep, and there we go, I'm awake again), and if it doesn't, you can bet that the wife is gonna let me know cause she's not sleeping. I end up having to make a sort of pillow mound with a bunch of little pillows supporting my neck under my ear, and bigger pillows arrayed to take my head, while creating a hole for my ear to rest over, that way the pulse has somewhere to go rather than echoing back into my ear.

What I listen to varies according to my mood at the time. It could be Outlaw Country, 80's electro, classic rock, chill, Techno or 90's alternative. And to remind of how great music used to be, I'll listen to Today's Hits.

Been on a big polyphia/ strawberry girls kick lately.

I still mix in a healthy dose of 3 inches of blood, slayer, and gwar though.. naturally.

Sounds like you need to find a doctor who speializes in Pulsitile Tinnitus. Some causes are treatable. It is sometimes a symptom of serious issues with the blood flow to the brain. Definitely worth checking out and may get you some relief.

Thanks; good to have a name to start doing my research on, and bring to my doc when I see him in a couple of weeks.

Sounded like you were realy suffering, so I did a quick google search. Some of the possible causes sound very bad. Best to get it checked out and maybe something can be done.

I have the steady ringing in my ears and hearing loss. Mine is from many years working around noisy converting machines. The firecracker that went off on my shoulder as a kid didn’t help either, or the concerts.

Hope they can maybe do something for you, and it's not something serious.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I wouldn't say that I'm really suffering, coz I've been living with this for a while now. It's just irritating in general, and pisses me off when I'm exhausted but can't get a decent bit of sleep.

I don't get the pulse echoing and that sounds like it's really irritating. Hopefully you get get some relief from it and that sounds worse than the rining.

Mine is a constant ring but like you said it gets drowned out during the day by other noise. Once I lay down it's a constant ring/humming and can get very annoying some nights. Right now if I stop and listen I can hear it but I think I've got use to it and try my best to tune it out. I've tried all those tips yo see on the Youtube videos and none have worked or even helped. Thankfully my hearing is really great so I try to stay away from music or places that are really loud now.

I have noticed lately that I have trouble hearing at times. But as far as music, I am all the over the place. I go from hairnation, classic rewind, 80's on 8, prime country, road trip radio, the groove, etc. Listen to just about anything except classical.

I'm with you on music. I've got 3500+ songs on my chip. Little of everything except classical. Set on random. If something that I'm not in the mood for comes up, it's Next Track button. Radio tends to be the local country FM station to keep up with the new stuff. I've got the XM button turned off on my APIM settings in Forscan.
