Loud Pitched Hissing In My Ears

High pitched noise in ears?

Tinnitus is defined as the perception of sound in the absence of an external sound source. It is commonly known as a head noise, ear noise, ringing in the ears. About 15% of people experience tinnitus symptoms.
Tinnitus is a noise that lasts at least 5 minutes. Shorter episodes of ear noise that goes away are considered normal and experienced by most of people.Tinnitus sounds are described in many various ways: crickets, wind, dripping water, buzz of fluorescent lights, pulsating tones, hissing, buzzing or ringing in the ear.
The intensity of tinnitus varies and can change over time: from “a background noise heard in quiet”, to “so loud that is heard over external sounds”.

Your ears and mouth are connected through the bones the change in the presided pitch or volume can be due to that.

I get this high pitched ringing in my ears every now and then why?

The ringing is called tinnitus. The most common cause is noise damage. It's sometimes called "the club disease", because listening to music too loudly can cause temporary or long term damage depending on how loud or often you are exposed to it. If you need to shout over the music, it is too loud. Before there were regulations that required earplugs, people who worked in factories often got tinnitus from the sounds of the machines. Many times the damage does not show symptoms till much later, sometimes even years.

It can also be caused by ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, head injuries, fluid drainage caused by sinus infections or allergies, high blood pressure, stress and depression, aging, and some medications.

Traditional Chinese Medicine lists tinnitus as a symptom of trouble in various organs depending on the type of tinnitus and an examination of the patient. An acupuncturist may be able to help you with this.

I hear a high pitched ringing in my left ear?

You may have tinnuitus, so you should see a doctor.

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, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "tree frogs" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping.It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound, as of wind or waves. Tinnitus can be intermittent or it can be continuous. In the latter case, this "phantom" sound can create great distress in the sufferer.

Tinnitus is not itself a disease but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes. Causes include ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, nose allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain and cause wax build-up, 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. It is also a classical side effect of Quinidine, a Class IA anti-arrhythmic. In many cases, however, no underlying physical cause can be identified.

What could this noise be? Subtle, high pitched/like ears ringing coming from only one room in the house.?

Wow, that's a doozy. I would start by turning off the breaker for the room...that can tell you if it is something in the wiring. Also, if there are any gas pipes or some other pressurized system piping behind any of his walls, a pinhole leak might sound like that. This may sound odd, but it's possible that the small transformer that powers your doorbell might be inside one of his walls...so kill the power to that too, since transformers have been known to make various noises (even when operating normally).

If there is a crawlspace above or below the room, be sure to go check them out. It may be helpful to get an inexpensive stethoscope and try to isolate the source to a specific area or device that way.

I hope this helps, I'm sure your son would like to have his room back!

**UPDATE: There is one more thing that is probably in his room and is designed to make noise...although it would normally be a lot louder. Go check the smoke detector! They are supposed to beep if the battery is getting weak, but it might still be the source of your mystery noise.

Why is there a high pitched tone in my ear?

It sounds like you may have tinnitus.Although we don't know the exact causes of tinnitus, we know that it is not a disease or an illness. It is generally agreed that tinnitus results from some type of change, either mental or physical, not necessarily related to hearing. It is often associated with:Hearing lossExposure to loud noiseStress and anxietyEar infectionsDo go and get checked out by a medical professional in case there is a treatable cause behind it.There are several strategies that can be very helpful in managing the condition:Information - you will probably feel better when you find out more about the condition, that it is very common and that you are not alone.Counselling - techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be helpful, either as a standalone therapy or combined with sound therapy.Correcting any hearing loss - if your tinnitus is accompanied by any hearing loss, then trying to correct this loss with hearing aids is often very helpful.Sound therapy - if the noises seem louder at quiet times, particularly during the night, it may help to have some environmental or natural sound from a CD, a sound generator, or even a fan or ticking clock in the background. Some people use in-ear sound generators.Relaxation - learning to relax is probably one of the most useful things you can do to help yourself. Those who practice relaxation techniques say they reduce the loudness of their tinnitus and helps them become indifferent to it. Yoga and tai chi can also help.Mindfulness is showing some very promising results after recent clinical trails, so that is something else you might like to try.There’s a lot of good information on the British Tinnitus Association’s website BTA- try to avoid sites which promise “tinnitus miracles” or “tinnitus cures” as there’s no such panacea - but with time, you will learn to manage your tinnitus well.

In a silent room, why can I hear high pitched sounds in my ears that fluctuate randomly?

Have you ever heard (pun intended) of Tinnitus? Well, you have it. The bad news is, it tells you that you have some ear damage. The other bad news is that there are some things that make it more bearable for some people, but not for everyone. The worst news is that is not curable at this time.The good news is, that if you are careful, it is not progressive. It is caused by environmental factors (Rap, loud machinery, gunshots,fevers, or drugs) and usually does not get worse, if you stay away from the causes. So far, you only hear it at very low ambient noise, mine will drown out speech in livingroom conditions.For some strange unknown reason, the Quorabots won’t let me use a credential that mentions tinnitus, even though I am something of an expert on the topic. Thanks for asking, and I hope it doesn’t get worse for you until there is a cure.
