Default How's your hearing ?

The strangest thing happened to me yesterday.

I was sitting on my bed and rested my head (the temple) on my hand and I
could hear a buzzing. Now, I'd had a bad headache a few days before but
it didn't sound like the tinnitus associated with it.

So, I removed my head from my hand and the sound stopped. Then the penny
dropped, you can get bone conduction hearing.

Sure enough it was the 11W CFL lamp in my bedside light about 2-3 feet
away. If I put my ear up close to it I could hear exactly the same
sound.

Is that curious or what ?
