I guess you haven't noticed the comments above, that many have checked if the ringing in the ears is tinnitus? NO?

I also checked my ears from a specialist HNO doctor, it is definately NOT tinnitus. The origing of the ringing or "zumming" which I appear to hear is definately in the middle of my head, but not in my ears. We, as humans, well, we "tend" to hear things, so it is logical that I can hear this also, altough it is not quite correct if I say I can hear it...it is another feeling, but I don't have any idea how to describe what I "hear"...pretty weird, isn't it ???

Oh, by the way, I'm not weird too...I've checked this also...my IQ is pretty OK...

But to believe it's "someone" or "something" trying to contact you? Nonsense. Just speak to my face, or send me a letter, or even telepathic thoughts, that will do.

One of the most common causes of tinnitus is damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment, and consequently tinnitus.

I have known friends and family who have worked in factories where machinery noise is loud, and after years, it does do damage to the hearing nerves. And most definitely I've observed people as they grow older have hearing problems including tinnitus.
