Hi everyone....l am throwing this out there as l think l am going mad! Nothing to do with Thyroid issues, but l am desperate for someone to confirm l am not going crazy!
For around a month now l have heard "The Hum", a droning noise which sounds like a generator or substation. I heard it around 2 years ago but haven't heard it since until a month ago. Apparently it's worldwide. No one else can hear it. People think l am crazy wgen l mention it.
I can hear it wherever l go, and at night it's horrendous. It's not Tinnitus, l have that but this sounds like an electrical noise!
I can't sleep and am going stir crazy. I have my phone at night and play masking sounds or music, but l have to have it so loud l can't sleep.
Can anybody else hear this? If so any idea how to mask it?
Please someone tell me they can hear it too!
Hugs xx

You're not on your own Sophie , I believe you. I feel the torment you're talking about with the noises. I understand it's the imbalance of many hormones and rebalancing. I think it's consciousness awakened and speaking to some medicine , medinaddions and the elitist organisation doing what they can to disrupt our opinions. We know what's true , you know how you feel when something is right and wrong you know . It's your body, your mind, your spirit. I hope the voice is your reason and rationality is heard. Perhaps it's them who could be mad after all.ive been given the runaround for well in excess of 20 plus years battling to and fro to get an official diagnosis. I've only recently been put on a 50mg dose of levothyoxin, since End of February. I have still been feeling mad, so very depressed and tearful. The doctor says it's not my thyroid though. Sorry I'm rambling, hope you get help you're not on your own
Ah well, I hear you, and I hear the droning too! Yes, its awful. I do blame the thyroid dysfunction! I'm sticking with that thought.
I just opened the page sent by Natchap (thank you Natchap), I quickly closed it! If I start looking into the 'world droning' idea, I think I really would feel I'm going mad!
I've got enough to contend with trying to get my thyroid in balance. I accept the noise as part and parcel of hormone dysfunction; part of me, at this time!
Thanks Supul....its not hormone dysfunction. It's definitely a electrical sound. I have only just started to hear it and l can't put up with it much longer. l have pressure and tinnitus because l have Menieres Disease but this isn't that xxx
I'm sure your right. And, I do hear it. Yes, it is very annoying, I hear it at night too. When I wake for toilet, I hear it, I keep thinking are there lorries in the distance, is it industrial sound noise,.... yet, we live in a culdesac, semi rural.
I can't fathom it. I hear it day and night. As helvella experiences, I have blamed refrigerator, etc...
All I know is, with every other symptom, its yet another to add to my list. If you find an answer, a cure, how best manage it, do keep us posted.
I won't be telling endo or GP, they perhaps, already prescribe to the idea that thyroid patients are mad..
No offence intended to you. The noise is maddening. I feel for you, I experience it..
Yep - I've got tinnitus too! I agree, it is completely different. Have put it down to things like a wearing-out central heting pump before now. Guess I am lucky that the hum is, for me, overcome without too much volume.
Just a thought, but can you hear it if you put ear plugs in? Maybe having those ear plugs joined to a low level source of music would give you some respite?
