buzzing in head

[Bashford]

Just before falling asleep I experience a buzzing sensation in my head which seems to be getting stronger. Mr Benn on 9/4 said the same thing - did he find out anymore?

Sounds like it might be Tinnitus. Not sure there is uch you can do about it, but possibly there are new advances. Best check with your GP.

Being sensible - Velvetee could well be right.

Being not so sensible - a bee flew down your ear.

Must be annoying or unpleasant, whatever - x

I don't think tinnitus only appears when you're falling asleep - is the noise there any other time if you stop to listen for it? Is it actually a noise or more of a feeling?

I get that if I have ice cream or too much of any dairy produce jno.

I used to have this in our old house, the buzz was louder at certain times, I used to go round the house and listen in every room, could not make it out. Have moved twice since, and nothing like it happened since. I checked all electrical appliances for any "buzz" but they were all quiet. Do you have a phone mast or pylon near you Bashford? Just a thought.

Buzzing? High pitched, low pitched, in the head (where about, front back, top?). I agree with jno, does not have the characteristics of tinnitus, but it might be a manifestation of anxiety or tension. Would also be interested in the progress of Mr Benn.

Only had this once in my life and it became quite intense. It happened for a week before I was struck down with Labrynthitis - an infection of the middle ear. When the illness went, so did the buzzing. It happened randomly, no set time, and up to three times a day. Very upsetting. Do a google on labrynthitis and see if any of it fits. I hope you find a solution. Good Luck. x

We often get a low pitched hum from the local factory - about a mile away! Most noticable at night, when there's no other noise, but sometimes I'm aware of it all the time. At least I hope it's that!
Seroiusly, do you notice it just before you go to sleep, or as soon as you lie down? We often do not notice noise in the ears until either it is quiet, or our minds are quiet. A technique sometimes used in meditation is to listen to the noise in the ears.

i had this in my old house. whilst lying in bed i could hear this buzzy hummy electrical sound. did my head right in, cos i could only hear it lying down in bed.... i would sit up, not there. get out and stand by my bed, not there. bend down by my bed and it was there again. put my ear to the floor and it was gone. no sound outside my room, nothing in the bedroom next door, nothing at the wall adjoining my neighbour the sound was purely at bed level and only in my bedroom, it so freaked me out for months. i thought aliens had put some sorta forcefield around my bed! (i lived alone so my imagination was able to run away). i bumped into my neighbour one morning and told him everyting i just explained above and asked him if he could hear it. he said yes, so we chatted about what it could be and it turned out he left his fishtank pump on all night and agreed to leave it off that very night and lo and behold.... no forcefield!! maybe your neighbour has a fishtank or fridge that sonic properties mean you hear it exactly at this time only?
