Ehh... When I Plug My Ears, I Can Hear Ringing...

[Guest Skye]

Yeah, if I like stick a finger into each ear and block out most sound, I can hear a barely-audible, but continous high pitched ringing sound. I can't even really notice it, unless I try to hear it, which makes me feel like I'm just imagining it. -__-

So yeah, can you hear stuff like that with your ears plugged? Or do ya'll hear absolute silence?

[Matthias Drake]

That's normal, I hear it too.

[Cloudnine]

I hear it when my ears aren't plugged....

XDDDDD

Like, when there's nothing but the ticking of a clock, I can hear loud riinging. XDDDD

[Mokujin]

They're all hearing it... Now for phase 2...

[Guest Fat no Jutsu]

Silence has a sound......

So, basically, there is no such thing as silence............

I like multi-period talking..........

[Guest Skye]

Eh, I did some searching, and it seems we all have something called Tinnitus... -__-

Oh well, at least I'm not alone!

ahh that's not a good sign...>_> but if we all have it shouldn't be a problem

unless we start to hear it loud enogh so we can't hear anything else

[cntrstrk14]

its normal. You would have to be in a situation where there is absolutely no sound waves or movement at all to get completele silence. And as long as your alive and breathing, you will hear it.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

With this, what I am guessing is...

Perhaps, when there are not any sound waves low enough for the human ear to pick up clearly, the ear heightens its own receptors, and hears frequincies higher than you would normally be able to pick up.

Man, that had alot of words that I prolly spelled terribly ><

[Guest Sweet Neodaddy]

Uh ohs, I have good hearing. But I can't hear the ringing.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Only happens to me SOMETIMES though. Still, I am sticking wit prolly poorly spelled theory up there ^^ -ALMOST but /no1 after that- Maybe I should take a break from Ragnarok a litttle...
