I have been woken up by a sound like my doorbell ringing for the past six months. The sound is very brief and lasts only a fraction of a second. Audio clips of the sound of my doorbell may be found here: http://www.software-path.com/bell/ .
One medical professional I talked said it could be tinnitus but another said that tinnitus wasn't usually such a short event.
I only hear the sound when I am in bed. Some days I don't hear it at all and other days I might hear it at 2AM, 5AM and again at 7:45AM in the morning.
I don't think it is tinnitus but am wondering whether I should see an ENT or GP for further clarification. Is tinnitus a realistic possibility here?
