Oi,
Anybody else hear a ringing in their ears when in a very quiet room or environment? Just wanted to know if I am not the only one xD
I normally hear it when it's very quite like when I am waiting in the car or I go to sleep. It's very faint and I have to think about and be cautious of it to actually hear it.
As for me I was worried that I had some ear damage which is unlikely because I never listen to my music overly loud and never longer than an hour. But I read it can be quite common that people hear something like that when there's no sound around. Anybody else can hear it?

nope i dont hear ringing in my ears

You've got tinnitus.

And yes, I have it too. Except mine is really loud.

^^
I'm am sorry that it's so loud for you :/
Cuz I don't even notice it when I am busy or actually don't think about it. I was actually thinking about getting my ears checked cuz it might be just some ear wax build up or something else, like bad diet or high blood pressure. Actually several of my friends that they have it too, so I guess many people have a very mild form of Tinitus at least.

I've been having since I was a kid?! How could it be Tinnitus!? I have like a higher pitch frequency ringing in my ears I don't know about you guys...

You might get better information in Tinnitus Assoc. of Canada at http://www.kadis.com/ta/tinnitus.htm

Thanks, but I already know most things about it. But I heard what I have is very common so I am just asking around to see who else has experienced it.

AH. i had this problem before(sort of), had my ears checked out then and my doctor said i had hyper sensitive hearing instead

^
I don't know if I should say lucky you or not cuz having hyper sensitive hearing isn't fun either.
Yeah, I am going to see a doctor as soon as possible. I hope it's something else like ear wax, blood pressure or something like that. And it's not even the sound that drives me nuts since I became "aware" of it I have been spending more time thinking about it than anything else, and it just makes me wanna sleep because the more I sleep the less I am awake to think about it, I don't wanna get depressed over it because it isn't nearly loud enough to affect me but the thought of having it

I feel sorry for people who have tinitus that is loud.

^yeap you should asap, because it might be too late if it turns out to be something much worse

well i had this ringing sound in my ears before,
it turned out be earwax that went a little too deep in the ear and became compacted
even if i regularly clean my ear there are still some earwax that go deep

but this is just one of the causes of tinnitus

Sometimes me too ! But not often.

In France, if you hear a ringing in your ears, we say this is beacause someone is thinking about you ! That's a bit cute

I actually deeply HOPE this is the same case for me. I've sometimes also feel very light pressure on my ears and they now crack and pop when I swallow so something is not quite right. I just hope it's not permanent

I listen almost all the time
because i hear music in my headphones very self
(I go by bus to college and not listen to the right music)

well you should go and see doctor or a clinic if your at school (for free) to check your ears
if it turned out to be earwax compacted then they could remove it
