Hearing things

Hearing things
O

onlyakid

No not voices, but just thinking my cell phone is going off but its muffled, thinking someone might be calling me, etc.

Anybody else experience this or is it just crazy me? LOL
 
I hear phantom timers going off alot. I work at a quick service restraunt, so I am constantly hearing timers beeping. I find I can hear them when I am getting ready to sleep. I also have to wear a headset somethimes, and I swear it beeps for the fun of it, just to drive me insane!

J,

I sometimes think I hear things too. Not voices, except feeling I hear my name being called. But the phone, the door etc.

Think it is pretty normal.

Peace,

Marc
 
I used to suffer aural hulucinations when drinking and i occasionally suffer from them now.

Personally I think it is linked to hypervigulance (or however you spell it).

Just my opinion

I hear what sounds like a radio or radio static all the time. I also hear someone calling my name real loud. Like yelling it but, No one is ever there. I also hear someone shouting my name when I'm falling asleep and it wakes me up. This can happen three or fors times before I can fall asleep. I try to sleep with the TV on so, It blocks it out. I use a sleep timer to shut off the TV, I usually set it for 60 minutes.

I also sleep with a light on, Bad habbit I just can't break. I don't like the dark.
 
Jason, that would just be me talking about you. ;)

Maybe it has something to do with being in the quiet after being in some place with a high ambient sound level. Your still 'hearing' some of the ambient noise that the body is used to.
Of course there are those small pesky ear infections that will give you a ringing sound.
Then maybe you just need to clean the wax out of your ears.

You don't have to be crazy to hear things. What was that? :p

Take care,

NOW HERE THIS:

OK, I don't want to hear anyone putting down sleeping with a light on.

After stubbing my toes going for one daughter or another...you know, it was my turn...we leave lights on in our house.

We're just amazed at how many folks sleep with their houses entirely enveloped in darkness.

Doesn't anyone realize how much safer it is to leave a light on in one's house to shine the way out if there are any number of emergencies?

The hell with this business about having a light on because of any abuse in our pasts, this light thing is entirely a stand alone issue.

Am I clear on this??

All I want to hear on this, is, "Yes, Sir."

As you were,

I slept in the dark until my abuser was moved into my room. He had to have a light on and the radio playing all night long. Isn't it odd how differently people experience things? While studying Navaho hunting methods I learned to walk bare foot naked thru a cactus patch on a moonless night. That envelope of darkness is the safest place I know.

Just an observation, not a critique.

I have to have the radio on all night but that is more than likely because I'm a news junkie..... thats my excuse and Im sticking to it.

I have to have background noise wherever I am I hate silences.

Some of my worst flashbacks have been aural... no images, just hearing voices, words that were said to me, etc. But I don't think that is quite what you are talking about. I have had the one where I hear my name just as I'm falling asleep.

I think Bill may be right though about being in a noisy place and then still having the ghosts ring in your ears. Kind of like when you look at a light and then look away, you can still see the shape of the light.

Just my thoughts.
 
I hear things all the time in static or white noise, like fans (sounds to me like voices murmuring in the next room), or especially in the shower (when I always swear I hear my doorbell or phone going off).

I think it's just the brain straining to find patterns in noise, or silence. And as somebody mentioned above, it's probably also exacerbated by hypervigilance or anxiety.
 
I have a constant whistling in my head, when in complete quietness, think we are seeing a connection here?

You remember what starts hyper?

I think it is part of your brain, mapped to deal with trauma, as someone else said on the boards, it lets out the trauma bit by bit, but you feel that it will never go, then there is a lot to get rid of.

My mind was like, it had split into two, one half dealing with life and the other working as a pressure valve, sometimes the pressure got so intense it took over and you have to find a place to be to just try and relax as much as is possible.

At first it seems impossible to do, but you find somewhere to go which is quiet etc., to me, it was impossible to do for many years, which are mostly blacked out for now, they may return, but only if I want to.

Don't want to put anyone of therapy, but I have read some ugly accounts, if you don't find the right therapist.

Stories of therapists putting false things into your mind and causing havoc, an example is, I convinced myself at 14 that the abuse never happened so I could put it behind me, I seeded my mind into thinking that.

This led to a massive relapse, when the thought came back to me, why was I feeling so shit? Then it came back that the abuse had happened but I could not recollect it, I set about retracing my mind back to the event almost reliving it, I felt I had to do it, why?, because how could you forget what happened, it was so ugly.

You see in the end it will probably be with you for life, but you need to turn it around and become positive about beating it.

Hope this post makes sense, it is only what I perceive not a clinical description.
