Tinnitus and autistic migraines

Over the last few days I gave it a lot of thought.

I get tinnitus attacks every now and then, here and there, and I couldn't find a reason behind it

For me tinnitus feels like drilling, piercing sound getting deaper and deeper into my brain, as if someone was pushing a needle into my ear, Intensity of it varies

I started paying attention to change in environment when it happens

Todays mild 5sec long attack happened after I turned on a boiler

Though I did not hear anything I would swear.

Can it be similar proccess to striplight's buzzing causing migraines? My brain deciphers it from what my ears pick up?

In other words - can tinnitus be another form of an autistic migrain?

  • Sorry to hear you've been experiencing tinnitus attacks. It's definitely frustrating when you can't pinpoint the cause. It's possible that environmental factors like the buzzing of a boiler could be triggering your tinnitus. As for whether tinnitus could be another form of an autistic migraine, that's something you may want to discuss with a medical professional. On another note, if you're interested in protecting yourself from electromagnetic radiation, you might want to check out emf shielding clothing. They offer clothing and other products that can help reduce your exposure to emf radiation.

  • luckily for me it doesn't happen when I'm in bed, probably I'm not sensitive enough, so it only happens in specific spots where waves superimpose to increase amplitude

  • I suffer with this have done since start of pandemic, conveniently when the 5g towers went up everywhere, I thought I was just sensitive to it, I have to sleep with white noise like a fan or a mini fridge on otherwise I’m convinced there’s a bee in the room, try the white noise it helps can get some apps also. 

  • scientist or not, if they are not physicists they probably do not understand how it works

  • I would say it's your brain deciphering it out of influenced waves, either sound picked by your hearing or electric impulses in your brain. 

    I speculated sth similar when I get it.

    Yesterday passing by the wall of my supermarket with fridge airconditioners on the other side of it,  tinnitus switched on, even though i couln't hear them

  • I get very loud tinnitus. I would say it's the same volume as a plane taking off, but it's just a high pitched ringing. It's so loud that it feels like it's hurting my ears. And I swear, it seems to happen when I am near cell towers or WiFi routers (which seem to have become insanely strong recently).

    I know people will say that's in my head or it's the nocebo effect, but I only realised this after the fact. It's not like I decided it in advance.

    The tinnitus happened first and for ages I couldn't work out why or what triggered it. But I noticed that it was only in certain rooms, and when I went to stay with someone else I didn't get it at all for weeks, and then I came home and it started again immediately, particularly when going in a certain room.

    Then I randomly bought an EMF and RF meter, and discovered the radio waves (microwaves) were between 5 and 20mW/m^2 in this area ("normal" levels in the UK would be below 1mW/m^2). It made me wonder if my ears were somehow picking it up or being stimulated by the energy or the fields. I can also hear those cat deterrents and I used to hear when a TV or CRT monitor was on in another room, though that probably is actual sound that my ears are picking up.

    People will call me insane for saying that radiation is giving me tinnitus. I'm not gonna start wearing a tinfoil hat or anything... but I did have one of those emergency blankets in my car (space blankets) and when I put it over my head the tinnitus did go away. So who knows what is going on.

    According to science, tinnitus is completely in your head and nothing to do with hearing. They say that it is your brain inventing a sound because it is receiving no stimulus from the ears.

  • yes it does, super imposition of sound wave functions does that in math

  • I can hear some cat scarers, not sure of the frequency but sometimes I don’t actually hear them at the very high frequencies  but they make my eardrums contract. Maybe there’s still pressure in the air from the sound of it’s loud but inaudible if that makes sense?

  • anybody?

    I love own speculations

    it means it's something unprecedented, and new, and potentially world changing 

  • I have no idea how to test it, I did ordinary test for high frequencies to check if I can hear frequencies of a dog whistle 22k-25k Hz, and it's no, I can hear up to 16k Hz, which is normal for my age, It must be something with decoding the brian is doing, higher fruequencies embeded in lower somehow or influencing lower, ear picks lower, and brain decodes it

  • You can get ear migraines but I think they usually cause dizziness and vertigo. It’s possible though that you’re hearing high frequencies of sound within the boiler that most humans can’t normally hear, which are causing sensory overload

  • All info about tinnitus anywhere is just utter nonsense, even bigger than what's written about autistic
