Re: Phantom ringing



Throughout my life I've had a very odd thing happen with my hearing. It
happens rarely, once every other month or so. The hearing in one ear or the
other will do a complete fade out and be replaced by a high pitched tone. I
won't be able to hear anything else in that ear. This will last about a
minute, and the tone will slowly fade away while real sounds slowly fade
back in. Very rarely, it will be a low pitch instead. I've never been able
to relate it's occurance to anything, always completely unexpected. It
would be quite frightening if I hadn't been experiencing it my whole life.
Does this happen to anyone else, or am I a freak?
