Hello everyone. I have had ringing in my ears only when i am in silence. I have also noticed that when i go to bed at night its not just ringing in my hear, but its like i hear other noices that go in and out of my head or that its from outside ( my window open at night) and i can hear stuff and its just intensified . It comes and goes with that but the ringing is always there when i am in a quiet area.  its annoying and what can i do to ease this noise. its not loude but its there....

also work in front of a computer most if the day and i can hear the humming from the computer and its driving me nuts. I think it botheres me more than otheres around me cause my ears are sensitive. I asked to have a different hub and they said they will try. my boss even said it was loud but i cant handle the noice all day.

thanks jennie

oh i also had a chemical reaction to lysol yesterday. i did something realy dumn. I sprayed some on my t-shirt and then put it on and the put a wool sweater on and the time i went to work, well lets say i broke out in red blotches and was very itchy for an half hr. I had to keep myself bussy to ignore it and it finaly went away.

I guess i wasnt thinking and cause i worse that t-shirt a few days ago under a sweater it had a slight odor to it so me not thinking grabed the lysol....dummy me ****

I too have that ringing in the ears during silence and musical notes on the rare occasion. The ringing  was one of the 15+ symptoms I had/have that made me suspect a TBD.  No computer buzzing issues but definitely sensitivity to abrupt sounds as I've mentioned in other posts here.

who doesn't have ringing in ears. Is this a permenant damage thing from the lyme or does it go away after antibiotics or are some people only getting it ON antibiotiucs

there is an acu-point on your heal that can help with the ringing. I use it occasionally. If you pinch the flesh behind your ankle where the Achilles tendon is, about level with the bottom of your ankle bone (the ones that stick out on the side).... and hold it, it sometimes can help decrease the ringing.

otherwise, I am known to wear earplugs often because I am so sensitive to sounds.

The ringing is tinnitus and can be caused by the lyme bacteria and/or certain antibiotics which are classified as "Ototoxic." You might want to check and see if any abx you are taking is in this category. I declined certain ones because of this. I already had such tinnitus and sound sensitivity, I would not risk any more from drugs. Protect your ears from loud noises as this can worsen the condition.
