So now when I press my TV remote control my left ear beeps! What the hell is going on with my hearing? Why is it it getting worse? Does anyone else experience this kind of weird crap?

If this is really true it means that you've developed some kind of superhuman EM hearing (impossible), or that your remote emits some kind of extremely high frequency sound (improbable, but certainly possible).
I would recommend getting a friend to placebo test this, have them hold the remote behind your ear, and then you have to tell them whether or not they are pushing the button.
If you're truly able to tell when the button is down, then you want to get a high quality audio spectrometer, and press the remote button when it's turned on. You'll probably record some kind of sound in the 14-20 kHZ band, and then that just means you're able to hear very high frequency, low-volume sounds.

God, I really don't know. This happened shortly after I got T and then kinda stopped. Is this H or reactive T? Also, my brain repeats the same sound after I've stopped pressing the controls. But, I'm defiantly getting a beeping when use the remote. HELP!
Well, before I got T I never heard this! Or maybe I did and didn't realise. It is certainly freaking me out!!!
I also experience this! I thought it was normal with reactive T. Honestly, I try not to think of it any more. I figure if I tell myself it is "normal" then I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Quite frankly I don't understand how this could happen. You would have to see infrared, or feel EM. Another possibility is that there's a visible LED on the remote that blinks too when you press a button. If you see that, you might hear the blinking. If you dont see it would get quiet. If that's case you might be experiencing sinestesia (sp?). I do with bright white light. I hear a rushing sound. There's a even more plausible explanation that you are pulling our legs.

I told myself all sorts of crazy things were going on early in my adapting to T. That my head was actually physically shaking on the pillow was one of the weirdest. (It wasn't actually. But no one could tell me that early on). My guess is that you are imagining this, and at some point it won't 'happen' anymore.
Lol I most certainly NOT imagining it!!! I know it sounds mad, but it's the truth.
No, mine just increases in volume for a quick half second. What does your normal T sound like and what do you hear when you press the button on the remote?
My cat often pricks up its ears when I use the TV remote. Not being technical, I had assumed that the remote control technology made use of high-pitch sound frequencies which were imperceptible to the human ear but audible to cats. Having just googled remote control technology, I now realise that TV remotes use pulses of infrared light which are invisible to the human eye. Even so, I sometimes think that I hear a very high pitched noise when I press the TV remote and my cat obviously thinks so too.
My regular is hissing/ tinkling but when I press the remote it's more of a high pitched eeeee sound .
That's interesting info, thank you! So does that mean I can hear very high frequencies????
Isn't the sound in the tv, then? What happens if you manually (without the RC) change the channel on the tv?

try doing my experiment with someone else pressing or not pressing the button, to see if you really and truly can hear it.
If so, then it's almost certain that the remote makes a high-pitched sound which you've just never noticed before. I am the same way; T has made me much more aware of various high-pitched electronic sounds.

I was able to use a charger for my phone, but I recently had to switch to a different one. Either it just started emitting a very high pitch that only I can hear, or my hearing has become more sensitive(the latter i think).

All your senses can become more or less acute based on psychological and environmental factors, and in a fairly shockingly short amount of time. When I was really in a distress state, I could barely tolerate the sound of overhead CCTVs in department stores; now I am largely unaware of them.
This exact thing happened to me, just like you say with the remote control. Thing was my girlfriend didn't believe me so she tested me, pressing the buttons on the remote and I had to guess when it happened. I didn't get any right at all.
I think it's our mind playing tricks on us, we merely believe it's happening. It just shows how weird and subjective this condition is. It's almost like we make up the sound in our head because we know we pressed the button but there is certainly no sound being picked up.
No, it's not my imagination. My auditory system is screwed up. I'm hearing all sort of things that I've never heard before.

I'm sorry,,, but you have to be kidding right ? "beeping when the remote is pressed ?"
Now that's interesting...
I hope you figure it out
Good Luck
