Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / January 2007Roaring Tinnitus during sleep.
Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The intensity is what I consider overwhelming and extreme with both Ears being affected at the same time, the effect is similar to a feedback loop where the white noise just appears to feed back on it self becoming louder and louder which makes me move out of a sleeping state to a more awake (semi sleep) state where it then dissipates, however as soon as it abates, I often move back into a full sleeping state and the sound comes back and process repeats until I managed to actually fully wake myself up, then the loud roaring sound completely dissipates. This particular episode of tinnitus ONLY occurs during sleep and semi sleep, and have to date never had it when I am in a fully awake state. Although occasionally I do get a very mild faint cricket chirping sound in my right ear whilst fully awake. The faint cricket chirping has been around since I was very young, may be 7-9 years old and the roaring tinnitus first emerged when I was around my mid teens, I'm now in my early to mid 20's I have Been to many doctors over the few years, and all of them were at a lost to explain what was happening. Any clues as to what is happening here? Also What I am more worried is this loud tinnitus actually feeding back to my ears and causing damage or is this just in my head only? > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which > comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > actually feeding back to my ears and causing damage or is this just in > my head only? I think it's in your head. What you describe happened once to me. Since then I have had a low grade tinnitus. I guess I have habituated to it, because it doesn't bother me anymore. > > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which > > comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > then I have had a low grade tinnitus.

It is because whatever that caused your T got healed over time in the process. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which > > > comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > It is because whatever that caused your T got healed over time in the > process. And you know this how? Given that I still have the tinnitus, your healing idea doesn't make sense. I have chosen to ignore it. The actual cause may have lessened somewhat; I don't know, but the tinnitus is still there if I choose to listen to it. > > > > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which > > > > comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > somewhat; I don't know, but the tinnitus is still there if I choose to > listen to it. The actual cause is there but the symptoms have diminished. Whatever caused your T has been recovering over time.

That doesn't make sense, but we know I don't understand English, so that probably explains it. > > > > > > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which > > > > > > comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > That doesn't make sense, but we know I don't understand English, so that > probably explains it. you understand English well but you have chosen to say something for the sake of saying it. > > > > > > > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound > > > > > > > which [quoted text clipped - 67 lines] > you understand English well but you have chosen to say something for > the sake of saying it. Then what you wrote does not make sense. > Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which > comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > actually feeding back to my ears and causing damage or is this just in > my head only? Apart possibly from the faint cricket-chirping, I don't think what you are describing is 'tinnitus' as such. I too have noticed this 'roaring' effect on occasion and put it down to one of the mysterious changes which occur in the brain as it switches over to sleep mode. Once I became quite worried about this - I felt the 'howl-round' might 'burn my brain out', so I regained consciousness without delay to stop it !! It's interesting to note that when we're asleep we become effectively deaf to non-significant sounds. If you have a fan on in the room try remaining aware in the last moments before dropping off and you'll hear it fading out (then fading back in again as you pay it attention). This cycle can repeat time and again, as you fall almost asleep then briefly awaken, like an oscillation. It looks like this might be what's happening in your case. Maybe your effect is triggered by the mild natural "tinnitus" noise everybody has. I remember noticing this noise as a child, though it was nothing like the genuine tinnitus I acquired at the age of 52 (and now much better I'm glad to say - but that's another story...)

Might be related to neck position when lying down. Also there is a condition of increased cerebral fluid pressure on lying down. > On 8/12/06 1:20 PM, in article > 1155414044.813037.220850@i3g2000cwc.googlegroups.com, "TyphoonTycoon" [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > Might be related to neck position when lying down.

TIA What position is your body in when you are sleeping?

Were I you, I'd consider myself blessed that it goes away when awake. I'd venture to guess that most people who have T know that the sound never leaves. At least we know that for as long as we hear it, we're alive and kicking. As a corollary, I'm not sure that I'd like to know my existential state were the sound to go silent.

"Never has nothing to do with now." -Don Van Vliet Typhoon, I'm also suffering from tinnitus...quite loud, and changes pitch all the time, along with clicking, buzzing, metallic sounds..all kinds of weird stuff. If the doctors say there is nothing wrong with your ears...it's probably in your head...like mine, which is why there probably won't be a cure. People have even had their auditory nerves cut..and still had ringing..which proves it's in the brain. Anyway, hearing aids have helped me dramatically. I drink a lot of coffee...hasn't made any change..some people says it will make it worse. Unfortunately I think this is a long time problem. Not even sure anyone is working on this. Millions experiencing the same problem..I know lots of people with ringing. Hang in there...try hearing aids if you are having problems understanding people..especially high pitch sounds. Digital hearing aids will compensate for your loss. jack >Very occasionally, I have a loud roaring 'white noise' sound which >comes around suddenly whilst in a state of sleep or semi sleep , The [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >actually feeding back to my ears and causing damage or is this just in >my head only?
