High pitched sound in my ear...?
It comes and goes, not too frequently, but it happened today. It sounds like a really high pitched flatline. What is this? It only happens in one ear, and its not a particular one.
Why do I hear a high pitch sound when I am hit in the ear?
I am speculating here, but this should be posted as a medial question. Your brain 'hear's' a sound if nerves by specialized cells in the inner ear are excited. Each of these cells has something similar to a tuning fork that vibrates and excites the nerve. The tuning forks in different cells respond to different frequencies, and that's how you separate high and low notes.I would guess that getting hit on the ear is simply a mechanical stress on these cells that triggers the nerves making your brain 'hear' the sound.I don't think any actual sound is involved

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.
Why does my ear get muffled with a high pitched sound for a few seconds?
Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. A common problem, tinnitus affects about 1 in 7 people. Tinnitus isn't a condition itself — it's a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury, circulatory system disorder, just to mention a few.Although bothersome, tinnitus usually isn't usually a sign of something serious. Although it can worsen with age, for many people, tinnitus can improve with the proper treatment.The kicker here is that tinnitus is felt and manifests differently for everyone. Since it’s unique to each person, that means what causes it, interferes with it, or changes it is special to you as well.Reach out to the American Tinnitus Association and see what they say!
How come i hear an high pitched sound in my ear after listening to my ipod?
Ringing or buzzing in the ear is called tinnitus, it's a condition caused by excessive exposure to noise, or an ear infection. There's no known cure but there are ways to lessen it, or train yourself to tune it out. If you're using ear buds, change them for headphones if possible. IMHO ear buds should not be used at all because they direct the sound waves right at the eardrum and are more damaging to your hearing than headphones are.
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.
The highest-pitched sound that a human ear can detect is about 21 kHz. On the other hand, dolphins can hear ul?
The highest-pitched sound that a human ear can detect is about 21 kHz. On the other hand, dolphins can hear ultrasound with frequencies up to 280 kHz. What is the speed of sound in water if the wavelength of ultrasound with a frequency of 2.80 x 10^5 Hz is 0.510 cm? How long would it take this sound wave to travel to a dolphin 3.00 km away?
Why do we hear high pitch noise randomly?
A high pitched noise inside the ear could be tinnitus. If you have this sound all the time or a lot of the time then it could be universal tinnitus and you need to sell the advice of your doctor or physician right away. The occasional tinnitus that everybody gets from time to time is caused by the hair cells of the mammalian cochlea in the ear. This wonderfully named body part has two types of hair cell, the inner hairs and the outer hairs. These are the bits that convert vibration or movement into electrical signals. The outer hair cells are actually able to vibrate on their own and normally expand and contract in response and in time with vibrations they detect. This amplifies sound and cancels out friction. They help to increase our hearing sensitivity, specifically in the higher frequencies.Occasionally, one or more of these cells decides to start vibrating on their own and then the whole system erupts and those phantom high frequencies become audible to us and we get the annoying high pitched sound in the ear. The phenomenon is known as "sudden onset ringing tinnitus" and will normally only last an average of 30 seconds before the bodies defence mechanisms kick in and damp the movement of the errant cells.:)
