Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Unfortunately tinnitus seems to be a pretty common ES effect (often much more continous/widespread than yours). It's good that you can turn it off though! But beware, it could be an early warning sign. Ian _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Bill Bruno Sent: 09 January 2008 22:49 esens Subject: bizarre tinnitus effects Lately I've noticed a rather loud high tone when doing certain computer tasks on my office computer. I thought it was a real tone from the monitor because if I covered my ears it got quieter. Now I find that it is not real. Depending on the exact position of my head and hands, I can make it turn off by applying slight pressure above my ear using two fingers. Or wrapping my left arm over my head and putting that hand near my right ear, the sound can be turned off and on by turning my head by about 5 degrees. Or I can turn the sound on and off by just touching a finger from that hand in front of my right ear. Putting a thin piece of cardboard between the finger and head I was no longer able to get switching. In this case the loud tone was in my right ear. There's also a quieter and higher (almost ultrasonic) tone in my left ear which remained constant (that ear's been ringing a couple days now in quiet envrionmnets). This office has aluminum on the walls and may have some interesting electrical properties. Anyone heard of anything like this? I'm not sure it will work the same tomorrow but while it was working the sound would turn on and off instantly, and reliably. I could easily have sent Morse code. Using an Electrosmog Meter I get 20 mV/m max (50 MHz-3.5GHz). Trifield ~.2 milligauss. I am near my Mac keyboard and mouse that emit AM band RF.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Bill, There have been times when I've sat at my desk and there has been a frequency sound begin. I found when I turned my head to one side it stopped then when I turned my head back it started again. If you cover your ears with your hands it will stop until you move your hands away. At times it's made me feel a nauseas and disorientated. It seems to be when the emf is high but is not experienced all the time when it reads high.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think this is something slightly different to the tinnitus problem caused by high emf, albeit of a similar nature.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Tinnitus is a serious symptom of electrosensitivity, especially from using computers, at least for me. After a sauna my tinnitus usually gets much worse for several hours. It can be releived somewhat after replenishing the ions lost while sweating. So it's my estimation that tinnitus can be inflamed by several stimuli. Loud noise, electromagnetism, and may be from a deficiency in certain essential ions.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I was told by a guy from Sweden that in high school his teacher told them to clench their back teeth for a minute. Most of the boys could hear a ringing but not the girls, and the teacher said this was typical. But generally the tone stops as soon as the teeth are relaxed. The guy is now grown up and it still works. I tried it and it worked too but the ringing did not stop right away for me...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It is remarkable how info on tinnitus never mentions Frey's microwave hearing effect. The peak intensity of the radar he used was stronger than what is found around town, but he also had 70dB of white noise in his experiments. He wrote in 1998 that he thought cell phones could cause headaches...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 The only thing that I have found that helps with the ears is when I take a clay bath to put a finger over my ear and then soak that side of my head under water in the clay bath. Over time it has help quite a bit with my hearing. I have been doing clay baths about 5 days a week for about 10 months now. bizarre tinnitus effects > > > > Lately I've noticed a rather loud high tone when doing certain > computer tasks on my office computer.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I should have mentioned the monitor I've been using the last few weeks is an old CRT trinitron. I'll probably try switching back to the flat panel LCD. The horizontal refresh was running at 81 kHz and changing that does seem to change the effect. I measured 3 microgauss in that frequency. With the monitor sleeping the loud tone goes away.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've had this since I was a child. Electronics will do it, and " louder " if they are malfunctioning or on the way to kaput. But it can also be things that are far far less obvious. Emergency systems, electric/pet fences, cell towers sporadically, new data wiring running over flourescents without proper shielding, vacuum tubes particularly old ones. Sometimes combinations of things - like a mobile phone in the room next to you when your old vacuum tube TV is almost gone for good. The being able to turn your head and " lose " the sound is very typical to me. I can literally be walking down the street and stop when I start hearing those frequencies. I can stand still, turn my head back of forth and up and down and " change " the tone or lose it when I turn one way or walk out of that " zone. " I'm more subtle about it when I get curious now as an adult. When I was a child, I would literally stop and try and see if I could find the noise. As an adult I can often pick out a potential source - and a cell tower within a km is VERY common as is pet fences and the like. Essentially, I'm telling you that I believe you ARE " hearing " something and that you aren't the only person who has 'the turn your head to lose the sound' effect. You can't turn your head to lose tinnitis and you can't walk away from tinnitus. > > Lately I've noticed a rather loud high tone when doing certain > computer tasks on my office computer.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 It is a misunderstanding that those norms are of any value to electrosensible people. Sure the electrical and magnetic fields are limited, and these norms are only meant for computer monitors, and NOT for toasters, irons, washing machines or television sets. But those norms do not look for the *dirty power*, the 30-60 kHz frequencies, which may come from those monitors, and for which electrosensible people are most sensitive.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks for this great information! I had never thought about data wires being near fluorescents, but I think it's possible that could cause noise in the home wiring and possibly a demodulation effect (lowering frequency). If you have any comments on any other variables that affect your likelihood of hearing this, please let me know. I also would like to know your approximate age and how old you were when you first remember such an effect. Any family members who have it? Did you grow up in a city or near a radar or anything unusual? Bill On Jan 11, 2008 8:15 PM, brassypep <bmcdonne@...> wrote: > I've had this since I was a child.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yes, you are absolutely right. But I think that every effort to decrease exposure to EMF should be supported. The TCO 03 label is just one step in the right direction. It is focused on office furniture and was founded by the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (1.3 million employees): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCO_Certification http://www.tcodevelopment.com/ http://www.mobilelabelling.com/ I believe that the numerous EHS people around the world could do the same for toasters, irons, TV sets, consumption habits, ... Don't you think so? I've checked the wikipedia website for envionmental diseases and I found very few things. Wouldn't it be intersting to initiate a wikipedia portal and project on this subject?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'll have to think about if there are other factors in hearing these frequencies. I'm 34 this month, and I've been hearing the electronic frequencies ever since I can remember - and my memory goes back to three. Mostly vacuum tubes then. I could hear my TV and all the TVs on the block turn on and off. I could even tell the difference between my TV and the neighbours TV from outside the house. My brother and sister used to be able to hear them sometimes, but don't anymore to my knowledge. I know for sure that they could hear vacuum tubes, and occassionally get the tinnitus effect. But I think that they still do. I've had my hearing tested several times, and I have higher than normal hearing with a " gap " at high frequency and then my hearing picks up again. Though I suspect that I'm not actually " hearing " all the frequencies per-se so much as picking them up. As in my brain is interpretting high frequencies as sound even if the frequency isn't necessarily being translated through the ear drum. Sometimes. I also don't have even coverage over all frequencies in that range. I've grown up in two of the large urban centers in Canada, though they are seperated by vast amounts of space. The only thing in common other than both being growing urban centers is the rate of growth being very fast, and the rate of adoption of technologis being similiar. And neither adopting fiber optic on a large scale which I suspect doesn't resonate as much. > > > > > > Lately I've noticed a rather loud high tone when doing certain > > > computer tasks on my office computer.

When you clench the teeth you contract the muscles in the cheek and many thousands of muscle fibers do hundres of contractiones per second; this you can hear and putting elektrodes on the cheek with an amplifier you will hear ist also, because from EKG we know the each muscle fiber creates a short electrical potential while contracting.

Dietrich Gruen M.D. Thanks that is very interesting, could a test be done with a muscle relaxant to see if face/head/neck muscles are to tight for what ever reason, maybe weak electromagnetic feilds are cuasing muscles to become taught at micro levels enough to stimulate a constant electrical emission from the muscles leading to tinitus in the ears for some ?
