Question

Answer 1

Tinnitus is perception of sound when there is no apparent source of sound.
It can be humming, whistling, ringing, buzzing, even music. It can come and go or be persistent. It can be high pitched, medium pitched, or low pitched, or a mixture of all three, or of more than one sound.

Over 5 million people suffer from tinnitus. It is thought to be caused by defective hearing - it’s not an illness or disease. Anyone can get tinnitus, not just old people, and it’s common after excessive exposure to loud noise.

Answer 2

What you have is probably tinnitus which is a more or less obnoxious noise generated in the nerves of the ear and in the head. I have it right now in my left ear. Can be a continuous high pitched whine or any of several other effects.
Do an esearch on the word and you will get lots of results.

Actually, you just may well be hearing some high frequency noice that not all ears pick up! Along time ago, when I was a kid, everytime I walked into a Thrifty's store, there was this offset noise that didn't hurt my ears, but just was something really high and low at the same time that "bugged" me....hard to describe... I told my mom as a kid and she just looked at me like I had lost a noodle! But, years later, my aunt mentioned that after they changed the lighting in all the stores, she doesn't have to deal with that annoying noise...Relief!

Answer 4

Not so much Screaming, but High Pitched Ring. Tinnitus.

Answer 5

Not sure about screaming and yelling, but before i go to sleep and its all quiet, yes sometimes i hear a high-pitched tone going off in my head. i think it's a sign of just a liiiiitle bit of your hearing going away.

EDIT: Yeah actually I think Suzi might be right.

Answer 6

ahh, well, that depends....it's normal to "hear" a slight ringing when it's dead quiet...thats the background noise produced by your inner ear and connecting nerves. if it's loud and annoying then it might be tinnitus. however, if you get a "screaming and yelling" sound, this is entirely different..are you describing voice-like phenomena? if so, this may be part of a psychosis and you should really talk to a doctor, particularly one trained in mental health. you are not necessarily "crazy" but may need medication treatment.

Answer 7

Tinitis is a condition when you get a high pitched noise in your ears but screaming and yelling i think sounds a bit strange!

Maybe your a Medium in the making and the spirits are trying to make contact with you :)

Answer 8

You mean a ringing in your ears? Everybody has that. It's the blood pumping through your ears that you're hearing. But if this is a louder kind of ringing that comes and goes, you might be suffering from hearing loss. Maybe from playing your music or movies too loud.

Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining (cf. flyback transformer), buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping.[3] It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound, as of wind or waves.[4]

Tinnitus is not itself a disease but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes, including ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, and injury from loud noises. Tinnitus is also a side-effect of some oral medications, such as aspirin, and may also result from an abnormally low level of serotonin activity.

The sound perceived may range from a quiet background noise to a signal loud enough to drown out all outside sounds. The term "tinnitus" usually refers to more severe cases. Heller and Bergman (1953) conducted a study of 80 tinnitus-free university students placed in a soundproofed room found that 93% reported hearing a buzzing, pulsing or whistling sound. Cohort studies have demonstrated that damage to hearing (among other health effects) from unnatural levels of noise exposure is very widespread in industrialized countries.[5]

Because tinnitus is often defined as a subjective phenomenon, it is difficult to measure using objective tests, such as by comparison to noise of known frequency and intensity, as in an audiometric test. The condition is often rated clinically on a simple scale from "slight" to "catastrophic" according to the practical difficulties it imposes, such as interference with sleep, quiet activities, or normal daily activities.[6] For research purposes, the more elaborate Tinnitus Handicap Inventory is often used.[7]

Answer 10

Como ex-víctima de los pitidos en la cabeza (llamados acúfeno o tinnitus), entiendo por lo que debes estar pasando. Lo mejor es mantener la calma y no ponerse nervioso, aunque con ese zumbido en la cabeza constantemente es muy difícil.
Librarse de los ruidos en la cabeza, o curar el tinnitus, como prefieras llamarlo, es algo que requiere consejo profesional y guía experta. Yo seguí este método (bastante más barato que ir a una clínica privada y bastante más rápido que ir a una pública), y me fue muy bien. Mucho ánimo.
