Re: sounds in non-implanted ear?

[Guest guest]

Tinnitus is a very common thing that many have to live with. Many

factors contribute to it. Diet, stress, illness.

What we " hear " is not true sound, but some consider to be phantom noise

similar in concept to what an amputee might experience feeling phantom pain

in a limb that is no longer there.

Sometimes it may be hard to ognore but that is about all one can do.

sounds in non-implanted ear?

Occasionally I'll have noises in my non-implanted ear, usually when I'm

laying in bed at night with my implant off. Sometimes it sounds like a

radio with someone talking, other times some kind of repeating clapping type

noise or alternating between both. My husband says he doesn't hear anything.

I'm wondering if any of you have had that experience? Curious if the

internal implant might be somehow picking up something somewhere and somehow

affecting the non-implanted ear? I know it sounds crazy but just wanted to

check and see.

Hello ,

I have been living with Tinitus for over 30 years . Though my Tinitus is

usually drowned out by the sounds I hear around me during the day . It can

become pronounced when there is no hearing aid on , in fact i can hear it now in

my right ear which will be implanted soon .On many occasions it has become so

prominent that I will hear music , dare I say even hearing choirs of singing

voices or banging or thumping , which is the new sound that has come in the last

couple of years. I am a musician too , so it can become interesting to hear

these auditory hallucinations ~ being musical helps and at times well , it can

sound weird .I can sometimes hear another note that makes a melody around the

one sound that is constantly ringing ,that is if I listen carefully.Sometimes a

sound can come and it is so vivid I have to check to see if I am actually

hearing again!And sometimes it can be uncomfortable especially when falling

asleep .

I have been told that after implant the Tinitus may go or become louder or

neither I guess.Is anyone not hearing Tinitus again after being implanted on the

implanted ear?

Cheers,

Marco

For some time now, when it's quiet, I hear a sound like a distant factory

running or maybe a busy highway in my unimplanted ear. It isn't bothersome.

On thankfully rare occasions I get loud tinnitus in my implanted ear but it

usually doesn't last more than an hour or two.

I've had my Freedom CI for 3 years in my left ear only, otherwise I'm completely

deaf.  I've been plagued with tinnitus for many, many years, seeming to come

from the left ear.  The CI affected the tinnitus somewhat by removing some of

the " noises " but increasing the volume in others.  In Nov last year I suffered

trauma and stress in the death of my 16 yr. old cat.  Additional " noises " ,

seeming to come from my right ear started.  These " noises " were different in

that there was " banging " and what sounded like " 2 pieces of steel being struck

together " .  These " noises " have lessened and practically disappeared now that

my feelings of stress have eased.  My only way of combating tinnitus is using

my coping skills and attempting to " rid " my mind as much as possible. 

Respectfully, Bill

My experience:

I started out with tinnitus in my left ear when I lost all the hearing in

that ear. I got the Ineraid 100 implant in my right ear in 1988. That

completely stopped the tinnitus in my other ear while I used it. When I

stopped using it, the tinnitus returned. I had that implant removed in

2000.

In 2009, I got the AB implant in my left ear. Immediately after the

surgery, the tinnitus was much, much worse, and after hookup, bothered me

a lot as I was trying to learn how to hear again.

But I told the audiologist, and she tweaked my mapping, and bingo! No

more tinnitus. The tinnitus does come back if I leave my implants off for

an extended period, but it's gone while I'm using them. And I really love

that benefit all by itself.

I experience the same thing every morning.  Thought I was going crazy.  : )

I had " ghost " noises like that prior to my implant driving me crazy.  It's

called musical ear syndrome; google it and find out that you are far from alone

with this. I still experience some of this but hearing seems to overpower the

brain's imagination.

I, too, have experienced noises that sound like a radio in the distance at night

in my non-implanted ear.

The first time this happened I got up and checked my home to see if someone was

there or if I had not

turned the radio off. I have since learned to ignore such sounds.
