Do anyone hear noises coming from their ear?

This will sound weird, but I've been hearing chirping noises in my left ear for almost 5 years. It's a mystery as I have been to Ear, Nose, Throat specialists and they did lots of tests on me including an MRI to check my auditory nerve. Everything is fine. It's just something I have to put up with. It's not too intrusive, more like background noise.

So that's not exactly "coming from" my ear, though.

What do you experience?

Tinnitis

When I was 15, the cotton swab from a qtip got stuck in my ear

When I was 22, hearing measured at 20/20

The same exact thing happened to me a couple months ago. The nurse had to flush my ear to get something white out. I didn't feel like my hearing was any better after & I still heard the ringing but I didn't feel like anything was stuck in it. My hearing gradually got better but I still had ringing off & on for about a month. My ear & hearing is fine now & no ringing in a while.

Nick

Nowadays I take a bobby
pin

Some articles say that damages the ear

But I have done so from age 15 to 35

If anything, my hearing is too sensitive

Precious lil "people" keep saying "huh" and "what" to me

While I hardly ever do vice versa

Maybe I should wear headphones

Precious lil "people" talk too much and too loud and there are too many of them

I can hear my visual snow.
I have constant visual snow ever since I remember and when I focus I can also hear a low volume sound as if a thousands of tiny diamonds were hitting each other in the air - which is how my visual snow looks like.

Constantly, since childhood, I hear a hiss in both my ears.
It can be painful because it adds to my sensory overstimulation.
Got examined, including MRI, nothing has been found.
So I guess it's just my own sensory issue.

Yes, I'm slowly going deaf in my left ear as well. Tinnitus is a b***h. I've got an appointment with an ENT soon, that might help you as well.

when I [@5 years old] was exposed to the loud CRACK!! from the muzzle of my dad's 30:06 rifle at a distance of only a few feet, my ears have rung like a thousand bells since then.

I once went to an ENT and told him I hear a clicking sound in my ear when I walk and he looked at me and said "Well, I have no idea what that is."

I think it must be the tiny bones hitting together.

could be a bit of wax-encrusted ear hair rubbing against your ear drum while you walk.

I have had tinnitus for many years.

On the plus side, I have not heard any noises that did not arrive via my ears.

Some articles claim that scratching ears with Bobby pins makes earwax impacted and hearing worse

But it appears that my hearing has gotten better or the same

And my hearing seems better than "most peoples". For example, when I was in the bathroom I heard the mailman come. Someone in the living room (closer) did not hear


Loud noises scare, bother, annoy, frustrate, me

Even on the bus, the woman sitting behind me leaned forward talking on the phone.

Standard decibels

And I felt compelled to move

Considered headphones

But when cars come I have to hear them

Besides wearing headphones (or glasses) feels kind of uncomfortable

Good thing I still have 20/20 vision

Age 35

Sooner or later vision gets worse

It is hard to imagine over 20 years of almost daily bobby pins scratching and ear drum not punctured


Although articles claim that punctured eardrums cause worse hearing, not better

Maybe could use ear drum surgery

But too expensive

What is tympanoplasty :?: I'm lucky that between my Medicare & Medicaid, I never had to pay a doc bill since I moved to Vermont. Cost $3 to go to the dentist 2wice a year but that's nothing. If I didn't go to a health center & didn't have such good insurance, I'm sure I would of got charged a lot for the examination & flushing my ear out. I probably would of went back a week later because of the ringing & hearing not being rite but we went to Louisiana to visit my parents a couple days after I went to the health center. Things had gotten alittle better by the time we got back so I decided to give it more time. The doc was rite about it needing time to heal from the trauma, I was expecting a week instead of a month but at least it healed & I didn't have to go back to the doc about it.
