Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / June 2007television set causes ringing in ears
3 days ago I noticed that when my tv is on, I get a ringing in my ears. I have had this tv for years, and just really noticed the ringing several days ago. Even when I turn it off, I still have a little ringing. If I keep it off for hours, the ringing fades but is still sort of there. But once I turn the tv back on, there it is. I think the ringing is only in my right ear, but I don't know for certain if it's just that ear or if it's both. There is another of the same exact tv in the house and I hear the ringing with that tv too. Can anyone help? Some TV sets will put out a 15750 Hz flyback frequency in time with the horizontal scanning frequency. Some people are quite sensitive to this and some sets produce it worse than others. Perhaps the sound of this frequency makes you anxious about your tinnitus (sounds very similar to me) and draws your attention to your tinnitus problem. Now, despite removing the stimulus your attention is on the ringing and it takes a while to forget about it. Does this happen with other TV sets also? >3 days ago I noticed that when my tv is on, I get a ringing in my >ears.

We have a couple lcd tv sets (non-tube), and after very briefly testing them, I don't hear the ringing on those tvs. Just the tvs with the "tube", I hear this ringing. Prior to 3 days ago, I NEVER heard any ringing with either the tv on or off. A little over a week ago, I got my satellite box that sits on top of my tv upgraded to a newer version, but I disconnect that and turn the tv on and I still hear this high-pitch noise. I have never heard this noise up until 3 days ago, however. Could it possibly be a buildup of earwax or an ear virus? In any case, I'm going to an ear doctor tomorrow. Just wanted to come on here and see if anyone had a similar experience. Many people hear this on older TV sets. The newer ones don't tend to make the noise as much, if at all. > We have a couple lcd tv sets (non-tube), and after very briefly > testing [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > I'm going to an ear doctor tomorrow. Just wanted to come on here and > see if anyone had a similar experience. Just got back from the ear doctor. Everything seems normal. My hearing is good/normal at all frequencies. They told me to call if the ringing/static sound continues for the next few weeks. I don't know what this could be... Now you have the physical evidence and need to combat the psychological aspects yourself. You need to walk away from it and get on with your life. If it is there, listen to it and try to make it louder, enjoy it. Sounds silly but many claim they have beat it this way. I can beat mine like that also, when it ever comes again. I try to make mine worse by listening and forcing myself to worry about it. Next thing I know it is later and I can hardly remember it being there. > Just got back from the ear doctor.

I'm pretty convinced that my mild T is aggravated by high pitched noises. Currently the worst offender is strangely a LCD monitor. I even took off the back hoping to isolate the whining area to no avail. It vanished when I did that. I'll have to just sell it and get another. Also the amp that powers my computer speakers that have very good high frequency performance is noisy and now that is off almost all the time. When I was young I could often hear high frequency alarm sensors in stores. TV's would be very irritating for the same reason the OP mentions above. I wonder if some T sufferers had superb high frequency hearing when they were young? I also grind my teeth and have a stiff neck which I'm working on daily. Sitting for hours in front of a computer with the neck in the same position probably doesn't help flexibility. I was thinking of getting a huge monitor (24 - 30") so I had to use more horizontal neck movement. This post is most interesting to me....I have noticed since I was a very small child ( as far back as I can remember) TV sets ring in my ears. I could be in another room and tell when the TV was turned on and even sometimes outside the house and still hear it come on or go off. Is this normal?? I have often wondered about this but never really gave it much thought, I just thought I was weird. My family even thought I was just poking fun, but when I would go into another room or outside and tell them when they turned on the TV and back off again they were amazed. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person that has wondered about this over the years. If someone can enlighten me on this subject and maybe explain what's happening I would certainly appreciate any insight anyone has about this. Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed light on this mystery for me Rita My email address is rcrabtree04@yahoo.com >3 days ago I noticed that when my tv is on, I get a ringing in my ears. >I have had this tv for years, and just really noticed the ringing [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >the house and I hear the ringing with that tv too. >Can anyone help?
