First I'd like to say, for those who suggest unplugging devices, electric etc.. I don't know how else to put this but for the 3rd time now, It doesn't matter where I am (except today up in the mountains, then again I was driving a loud truck and my ears were plugged from the altitude) but I can be in the middle of a quiet park and hear it.

Second I'd like to thank Seva for her very enlightening answer. You area breath of fresh air and mostly well documented, researched, and studied knowledge.. Not just whimsical assumptions. Tht is truly appreciated on my behalf. Plus the time you put into such a long informative answer. You are kindred to my heart, a true compassionate soul.. I love you :-)

I think you are the slosest so far becasue I really started meditating only af ew weeks ago and that is when it started. AT least I noticed a strong ringing in my ears when I would meditate. This didn't happen the first couple of weeks when I began my meditations. As I was able to focus more and more and get rid of my subconscious chatter, there were times I felt like everything including me was starting to dissolve and blend together, that is when it started. I still haven't been able to reach a full Kundalini Rising or reach that magical spot where I connect with the consciousness but I feel that I get so close. It's like I get to the beginning of the tunnel and something always makes it go away before I can take the leap. I'm sure it has something to do with my ego and or a certain fear or something I can't seem to control right now.

When I first noticed the ringing in my ears, the first two times it was a loud ring in my left ear, then it was once in my right ear, then it was both my ears and above my head.. Ever since then the constant ringing is in both ears and above my head, it surrounds my head. If I meditate, it transfoms into a definite classic "ringing of the ears." It sound sto me like I am going through what you explain and your thread seems to ring the most truth with my own inner "truth detector" However, at this point I'm still not ruling out other possibilites. I am sure that as my meditations get stronger, the answer will become obvious if this is apersonal quest and realization thing.

peace,
