static in ears

Does anyone have static sounds in the ears as the c/l wears off

what does static sound mean

[M-o-ggy in reply to Divii]

I can’t really describe it. Perhaps like the radio not tuned in, perhaps a buzzing, perhaps the sound of the tumble drier working in the basement.

It comes a day goes which has confused me. It has taken me quite a time to connect it to the c/l wearing off.

I was just wondering if anyone else had the same symptoms.

it should read ‘comes and goes’.

I have that static sound in my ears, though less so recently. I didn't make a connection between low dopamine and static ringing. Interesting...

I wonder what it is. As of now, I have come across one other person with this symptom.

I have it. It’s a static noise, almost as if I can hear electricity ( for the lack of a better description). It comes and goes and sounds like the high pitched noise when a tv was on in the old days. However, I am unmedicated. It’s becoming prominent during and after PEMF treatment sessions, it calms down a few hours after treatment.

“Tinnitus is the medical term for "hearing" noises in your ears. It occurs when there is no outside source of the sounds.

Tinnitus is often called "ringing in the ears." It may also sound like blowing, roaring, buzzing, hissing, humming, whistling, or sizzling.”

It is not PD specific. I have no idea why it should arise as your c/l wears off

[M-o-ggy in reply to CaseyInsights]

tinnitus was my first thought. Whilst it could still be so , it is certainly linked to the off times of the c/l

I've had Tinnitus for many years before I was diagnosed. It also gets worse when c/l is wearing off. I've always wondered why.

Recently somebody on HU mentioned Dr Tass was working on Tinnitus as well as Parkinson's. I did a quick search and found this recent paper: "Treatment Tone Spacing and Acute Effects of Acoustic Coordinated Reset Stimulation in Tinnitus Patients" (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/369...

"Acoustic coordinated reset (aCR) therapy for tinnitus aims to desynchronize neuronal populations in the auditory cortex that exhibit pathologically increased coincident firing."

Sounds similar to his vCR for treating PD symptoms. So I guess it makes sense that c/l on would lessen Tinnitus and c/l off would make it worse. Maybe Tinnitus could be an early non-motor symptom for some?

Thank you for this. Another piece of the puzzle.
