I don't think its my ears and my wife hears it too. I guess it's at about 70 Hz? It's very constant in frequency and maybe I'm only hearing a harmonic of a lower one?

Took a little drive about a mile out and its still there, a good distance from any industrial buildings.

Drives me a little nuts.

My laptop and phone mikes don't seem to pick it up, I don't see any discernable peaks in the spectrum analyzer with Audacity.

Maybe there is a pump running somewhere, since we had torrential rainfalls since about yesterday. But to still hear it, almost two kilometers out?!?

Would you like to hear a story that makes me sound a little bit insane?

[–] • 1 pt

Why yes, yes I would!

Ok.

So I am Theo, take this as seriously, or as not seriously as you please.

I have a problem with alcohol. I think this should be well known to any user of Poal.

I have been to rehab for alcoholism. I am a member of AA.

I believe that Alcoholism is actually a spiritual problem.

I know it sounds insane, but that that is what I truly believe.

I relapsed recently.

I am not happy about it, but whatever, it happens,I just have to pick myself up and not relapse again.

But I often put on conspiracy videos to go to sleep to.

Not because I believe in them, I just find other people's paranoia comforting to listen to.

It makes me feel less paranoid, listening to how paranoid other people are.

But I heard one video, during a relapse, where the speaker talked of tinnitus,

And said that tinnitus was not a medical symptom,

But it meant that spirits were around.

And I thought that was a weird thing to say

And I instantly heard a ringing in my ears.

And it won't go away. It seems like it came immediately afterwards.

And now I see things. Not actual things, but just shadows that move around me, when I am trying to go to sleep. Things that move when they aren't supposed to. To call them shadows would be incorrect. They aren't just on the wall, they move closer to me, and seem like they want to cuddle up with me. And that is when my tinnitus gets worse.

I don't know if this is real or not.

But it feels spooky as all Hell.

Whoa, thanks for sharing. I can only imagine how much that must suck.

From a purely medicinal point of view, I think tinnitus as a symptom can indicate various problems, making it dreadfully difficult to find the root cause(s).

From my experience with technology I know this: The problems hardest to diagnose are those having identical symptoms but multiple possible causes, sometimes compounded by intermittent occurrence.

Which is to say, you might be one of the sanest persons on the planet and it's not in your head. I think what you're experiencing can be the result of a few causes, including, but not limited to, hallucinations.

Although I consider myself to be a fairly realistic guy, I also believe that there are things out there we don't understand and which can't be explained using contemporary scientific knowledge.

Things to ponder: Does this happen constantly or does it depend on certain situations or environments? Does it influence your ability to function in day to day life? Have you spoken to someone about what you're experiencing in depth, not necessarily a pro but maybe a good friend you can confide in?

I really wish I could help and I think you should try to find someone to personally share this with, so you don't have to bear this on your own. You don't have to go it alone, which is what I call the "male disease". Not seeking help and bottling up the bad shit that happens to us in life.

You made a good first step in sharing here. I'm sure most people here are willing to support you in any way they can.

Check out the movie “The Sound of Silence” (story of a House Tuner in New York)

I have tinnitus as well because I'm a dope and thought being a below average club DJ was a great career path in my young 20's. It was a short lived dream but it gave me a gift that keeps on ringing... I also see black smokers with red eyes in the corners of my room. Not in my camper because that hasn't been damned I feel. My father's house I think is possessed not with a demon but with negative energy. Also I have terrible sleep apnea and that causes blackies to appear as well.

I've had tinnitus in my left ear since getting covid a couple years ago. Had a physical and they didn't see anything in my left ear like infection.

Theo, The same has happened to me and my family. We get the ringing and we hear music, see shadows, things move/ disappear and reappear. Unexplainable loud noises, our kids have heard and seen also. We are not crazy, we both (Wife and I) have been through trials I will say, Spiritual trials. Im very analytical so my first response is getting a rational explanation for these events, I cant explain many. I started documenting the events, In a log. The log will help you know you are not crazy, Helps to piece it together. I think we are being woken up, something is helping us from the other side. I know it sounds crazy, we dont tell anyone this stuff. I must say, there is darkness that tries to interfere/intervene. I too have recently quit after many years/decades of alcoholism. Last day was 4/11/2024. Feels longer honestly, I had to look up the date, feels like 2.5 months.I will say to write it down, get a feel for whats there, trust your intuition, your gut.

Pray to God, ask Jesus for help. The demons that caused you to drink your life away are real, and you’re in a spiritual fight. I’m praying for you now, you can feel it if you open your heart. Add your own prayers and seek help and guidance. These things are real, you’re not paranoid. I’m currently in a house of God and will ask the congregation to pray for you at the prayer meeting coming up. If I were in your neck of the woods I’d invite you to join us.
