There is a continuous high pitched noise, which I thought was in my hse, that noone else can hear. The sound seems louder in certain parts of the house. Bc. it's making me feel really sick, the fire dept. came out to look at it, but they couldn't hear anything. They checked for CO2 etc., but they didn't find any weird gases. When I left the house last night, the sound did stay with me about a half hour, and then it was gone. As soon as I entered the house, it came back. When I went for a walk today, it was gone as soon as I left the house. The only thing that masks it are those utube rain videos for sleep, and they have to be a certain pitch and represent very loud rain. Fans etc. don't mask it. But now my computer has died, and I dcan't use earbuds, so I don't think my android is going to help much, not to mention the problems caused by EMFs from either device in my bedroom all night. What the H is this? The f. Dept. did acknowledge that some people had more sensitive hearing than others. If this is tinnitus, why is it continuous, and why is it louder in some rooms than others? If it isn't tinnitus, why did it stay with me for 30 minutes after I left the house last night, but not during my walk today? The intensity also seems to shift from room to room, but not consistently. I can hear it outside the house, but after awhile, it goes away. I don't think I believe in ghosts, ha ha! Spirits maybe, but not ghosts. What the HE-- is this? It's making me nauseous etc. I hate typing on a cell phone!!!! M ht

some people are able to hear things others cannot, lYME IS known to make you have hyperacusis or sound sensitivity. In tinnitus the sound is always there and constant, whether your outside or inside. When your outside, there is enough ambient sound to mask the tinnitus sound. I have tinnitus, and its much louder when at night, and in the cold, when your alone in a quiet room its louder, Also fast heart rate, high blood pressure can make tinnitus worst. When your under stress the tinnitus becomes much more prevelant, have you done ear cleanings? impacted ear wax actually makes tinnitus worst. I had impacted earwax few weeks ago, and i noticed my tinnitus was worst when it was inside my ears. You should have a doc check out your ears? Did you have audiologist test to see if you have loss of hearing. For me i have been suffering from tinnitus in my right ear mostly for 5 years, in my right ear its a constant static, computer high pitched noise, occaisonly 1 ear gets the episode of classical tinnitus( a high tonal sound that last few seconds, with sensations in your ear)

Thx so much for responding. Ru saying u think I have tinnitus, even if it seems to go away when I've been outside for awhile? Dosounds of rain help u more than other sounds? Does the sound vary in intensity? My father had tinnitus, but he claimed it was from being in the trenches during WWII. My father was in his 40s when I was born. I

wonder if it's genetic.

I also have had the ringing in my ears. And I notice it when I am at home the most. I don't usually hear it when I am out and about. It sounds like radio static on low just that buzzing. And sometimes I get all these weird lively feelings like a party going on inside my chest and head esp. at night when I try to fall asleep.

So you are not alone in the weird noises and feelings dept.!

lyme disease can cause it, I have no idea why i developed tinnitus so suddenly. Tinnitus is a wierd disorder, only you can hear, with the exception of pulsatile, which your pulse rushing in your head which doctor maybe able to hear, i had that too for a number of years, but it disappeared. tinnitus is the same tone whereever you go, in loud environments, it is enough to mask the sound. when i first had tinnitus, i freaked out and was extremely anxious, over time i became so used to it, its like its not even there, eventhough its always there non-stop. Sometimes its loud but not that annoying. Loud sounds can damage the hairs that transmit sound, and can lead to tinnitus. Tinnitus is almost always associated with hearing loss, have you gotten tested by an audiologist? i had 2 and said my hearing better than most people. hearing.
is your tinnitus constant? such as wooshing? constant air passing through sometime? a machine like sound? do you get periods of tinnitus where it becomes a loud tone?

if you had lyme disease, it can cause it, its one of the symptoms of lyme.

We have had a high pitched noise in our house that comes and goes for about the last 3 weeks. It was very frequent at first but now it only sometimes happens. It can be heard outside the house and yet not it some rooms. We have no idea what it is. My mom read online that it can be a smart meter on the house so we are getting an analog one put back on to see if that helps. I wish I could help you! Hopefully your high pitched noise will just go away like ours seems to be doing. Maybe you have a smart meter that is causing it? I think my mom mentioned it can also be a heater or furnace causing it.

Can you hear the noise if you plug your ears? I don't really know anything about tinnitus but you would hear the noise even if your ears were plugged if it was tinnitus, right? I can usually hear a slight high pitched frequency that I can still hear when I plug my ears but the noise I hear in my house is different. (Also my mom can hear it, but my dad can't.)

People with tinnitus complain of hearing tonal sounds, wooshing, whizzing, computer sounds, a high pitched noised, usually its constant. Since tinnitus have to do with your nerves you cannot block it out.
