Does Anyone Know These Zaps, Which Sound Like Small Electrical Discharges...

[Tinniger]

When my hissing in my left ear is quieter, I often hear small zaps for hours (and days), approx. 4-8x/second, partly like a pulse-synchronous ratchet, partly additional "impacts".
They're not very loud, but quite annoying.

Can I hear cell discharges now, or is that a nonsense?
Is that what some people describe as cicada noise?

Who hears that constant tinkling, too?

Yes, I do call them crickets they just turn on stay for awhile, I like to tell them the season is over, but unfortunately the sound comes and goes as it pleases. I actually try to diss it as much as possible and you can try to.

I get the electrical zaps amongst all kinds of noises and sensations.

 

[Tinniger]

Or is that what others call typewriter tinnitus?

Have this as well about every second or so. Without sound isolating ear muffs it sounds like crickets. With ear muffs it sounds like a bug zapper. When I hear it most the other tone I have is non-intrusive. It's ever so faint at wake up but becomes more obvious throughout the day.

 

[Tinniger]

Obviously not an interesiting "phenomenon".
Nobody can say something about zaps, about typewriter-tinnitus, about morse-code-tinnitus and so on.
I am convinced that without an exact description of the symptoms we will not make any progress in tinnitus...

Hey do you still get them?

I get this too. Some days it's in the background and other days it dominates other tinnitus sounds in my ears. I describe is as an electrical sound or a live wire. Multiple high pitched bursts firing away uncontrollably.

This is how mine is whenever there is external noise present

It gets really bad when I use my work phone but weirdly doesn't happen when I use my cell

When my T spikes it sounds like a huge field of Cicadas so I think this zapping sensation is kind of like the "mild" version of that

 

[Mister Muso]

Yes I get this about once a week. Shortly after waking up.

Hi @Tinniger, does the sound resemble a power circuit? Did it subside with time? I hear mine 24/7 and it started after a dog barked right next to my ear.
