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 ?

You need a tinfoil hat - I think aliens are listening to your brain ;-)


I'm sure aliens could find better things to listen to.

Why? There's nothing to get at.

BA ZING!


Was that the power line being overloaded by my brain ?


Your brain couldn't overload a AAAA cell.


Unimaginative.

Is yours that small btw ? I'd never heard of one before.

No, you are all alone down there with the Amoebas. BTW, a real EE
would know that AAAA cells are used in 9 volt batteries. Once again
your ignorance is staggering.

I'm not sure it was tinnitus because I only ever heard it in/around the
house. It was so location specific. I recall pulling up onto our drive
after a completely hum-free holiday and turning off the car
engine....immediately I could hear The Hum. Since we have been living
in Wales for the last 9 years I have never heard it.


I don't know what it is but I would not dismiss it out of hand as LF
tinnitus.


I'd say tinnitus would stay pretty constant when you move your head -
whereas something acoustic is likely to change. Nodes and things.



I tend to agree. I've had tinnitus for years, now. It tends to be
constant, except when it changes. However, the changes are abrupt and
independent of my position or any movement. The changes can be
triggered by a yawn or something like that, but it's clear that what I'm
hearing is internal to my head, and not caused by any outside sources.

Oh, no, not this urban legend again. The effectiveness (or lack
thereof) of tinfoil (or its equivalent, aluminum foil) hats was
investigated at MIT several years ago, with startling results:

The cells *INSIDE* a 9V battery are nominally AAAA, Dumb Donkey.
Too dumb to use Google, even. 194 IQ, my ass.
