I wish I had read this thread 7 years ago. I listened to one of those hearing tests online that cycled through four high tones. After, I came to the harrowing realization that I was still hearing them, in the exact same order, at the exact same tempo. This was only after 20 seconds of...

I listened to a video at an average volume showing some jazz chord progressions. I was horrified to discover that they're still faintly playing in my ears 30 minutes afterwards. It's not like an earworm though. It definitely has the same sensation that tinnitus has. How is this sort of...

Well the thing is that its always a replica of something I hear, but its randomly selective and so I can never tell which sounds are going to be imprinted. Its never anything random, always something I've heard in the past. I have like 20 sounds or so that I can manifest if I focus on them, like...

I recently got a job as a host at a restaurant 5 days ago. The phone began to ring and there was nobody around, but I didn't know what to do b/c I hadn't been trained yet for that (I learned later). It didn't sound too loud, I mean it didn't offend my ears or anything. It rang for about 45...

Anyone else? Whenever I hear high pitched sounds, there's a chance that it turns into tinnitus. I had a hearing test back in February and I can still hear the tones shifting. There's a phone ringing in my ear, same ringtone as the one that caused it. Various video game sound effects as...

Would you mind sharing your experience? I'd like to emphasize that "phantom crickets" is NOT a personification of the standard extremely high pitches like the EEEEEEEEEEEEEE etc. This is a distinctly different sound and its so realistic to the point to where I can hear the lower pitched chirps...

Gah, darn it sorry for the repetition in the final paragraph. Unintentional posting error. Its 3am over here haha. I appreciate you trying to help and I can understand why its rough to consider. There is little to no data about a phenomenon where sounds you hear IRL manifest as tinnitus. But its...

This is the following definition of an earworm. An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm,[1] sticky music, or stuck song syndrome,[2] is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing.[3] Phrases used to describe an earworm include...

With all due respect, can you not tell the difference between your own tinnitus and an earworm? Certainly you can agree with me that the experiences of both are so unmistakably different that its impossible to confuse the two. I doubt anyone here would define their tinnitus as an earworm because...

I misled you a bit, my bad. I don't hear it in my head, I hear it in my ears. 1. I only started experiencing my ability to create tinnitus that sounds like sounds I've already heard, two years ago. I've had 27 years of experience when it comes to earworms. 2. I also started Lamictal for BP...

This isn't an earworm, unfortunately. Earworms cannot be masked by tinnitus maskers, but these sounds can. Trust me, I've heard my fair share of earworms and its nothing like what I'm experiencing. Raphael, I want you to imagine your favorite song. Play it in your head as loud as you want...

Watched a cricket video to mask my tinnitus. When I took headphones off, I could still hear an exact replica of the video. Still hearing it 3 days later. Was on a walk today at 2pm and heard crickets. I have no idea why this happens, but when I hear a high pitch at a moderate volume for long...

Hey there, just thought I'd report. I've been struggling with a lot of new sounds lately. You know that sound when your computer's working? That's been ingrained into me. Also, a phone was ringing loudly near me and now that's stuck as well. I have two different ringings and their rhythm...

Have you any experience w/ this? My Tinnitus sometimes hears a high pitched sound, burns it onto a CD and just replays it forever. Today I played a scale from the top of the piano relatively loudly and, lo and behold, I now have a faint phantom scale of it constantly playing in my head...

Everyone, its a pleasure to meet you. I've joined because I had the unfortunate displeasure of attaining what I believe to be Tinnitus roughly a week ago. As a 28 year old musician, I had an arbitrary curiosity as to what the highest upper frequencies sound like at the top of the human hearing...
