The hum of my laptop
Traffic on the road in the distance
Birds tweeting

LadyWithLapdog · 22/03/2024 12:39

The washing machine, the tumble drier, me crunching peanuts

Telomeres · 22/03/2024 12:41

The wind!
Starlings
Me sniffling after a bit of a cry

Madlymumming · 22/03/2024 12:43

Jeremy Vine on the radio. Hoping to drown out the tinnitus. Which although awful I'm feeling fortunate it's the same noise in both ears. Unlike a pp. Horrendous.

Sylver75 · 22/03/2024 12:47

Ryan Tubridy show on Virgin Radio.
Click of the heater under my desk.
Rumbling of my stomach.

Mammma91 · 22/03/2024 12:50

The tv, washing machine and the kettle boiling as I’m about to wash my Livingroom floor.

TuesdayWhistler · 22/03/2024 12:57

Too much.
Misophonia and tinnitus = with their powers combined, they make Captain Fucking Annoying Bastarding arse farting shitheap

So anyway

I can hear.
Kids at the school screaming and laughing.
A mower going in a garden.
Someone chopping wood.
A canal boat engine running
My fridge
My neighbours bathroom extractor
Birds
A dog walkers clacky lead.
Traffic
A dull brown hum in my.left ear
A high pitched squeal in my right ear.
The buzz of the phone charger in the socket
The fzzz of the lamp bulb
My cat snoring.
And someone has just yelled "Andrew, it's over here ya daft c*" (I don't know why)

NooNakedJacuzziness · 22/03/2024 12:58

Andywarholswig · 22/03/2024 11:41

hum of air conditioning
Mouse clicks
Key board taps
(am in the office and it’s like a zombie apocalypse as it’s Friday)

Same - I can even hear my own breathing

slavetothekittens · 22/03/2024 13:06

The Kinks on the radio, a cat snoring, a cat telling me it's lunch time and next door hammering something.

TheFormidableMrsC · 22/03/2024 13:06

Hum of the fridge. Birdsong.

DrunkenElephant · 22/03/2024 13:18

Telomeres · 22/03/2024 12:41

Another case of tinnitus here, a high-pitched tone in my right ear.
The ticking of the wall clock.
Vague sounds of my husband blundering about upstairs. He can't even change his socks quietly.
A small aeroplane in the very far distance.

notanoxfordcomma · 22/03/2024 13:23

Literally nothing. Maybe the clock in the next room if I really, really concentrate.

DH has just gone to collect the two kids from school ready for the Easter hols so I'm sat here savouring every single last second of the next 10 mins...

WhatTheFuckIsThat · 22/03/2024 13:24

The tv (husband watching it), the hum of the dishwasher on, birds tweeting outside

KnottyKnitting · 22/03/2024 13:30

My tinnitus... High pitched whistle 24/7

woahboy · 22/03/2024 13:39

Birds outside
Beagle snoring
My tummy gurgling
Fridge humming
Distant road
Persistent very small sound in my ears

Does everyone have an inner ear sound or only people with tinnitus?

I always have a low level sort of static sound. But I think I always have. Does everyone?

aintnospringchicken · 22/03/2024 13:50

Ring doorbell as the postman delivers the mail.
DH cursing the PC because he's can't access the website he needs
Dog next door barking
Wood pigeons on conservatory roof

citrinetrilogy · 22/03/2024 13:52

My tinnitus
DD's voice
The sound of knife and fork meets plate

SirChenjins · 22/03/2024 13:53

The dog breathing while he sleeps
The hum of the fridge
The birds tweeting outside
DH moving about upstairs as he wfh

Tarkan · 22/03/2024 13:55

The dodgy fan on my laptop sounding like a jet

DH talking to me now and again

The occasional car going along our road

Dog huffing randomly while lying on his bed (he normally prefers the sofa so I think he's trying to get DH to move)

Really strong noisy wind outside and the occasional wheely bin blowing over

ShinyPikachu · 22/03/2024 13:56

Just had some noisy seagulls. They'll be nesting soon I guess.

champagneplanet · 22/03/2024 13:58

A dog barking, breeze rustling through the trees outside, and the hum of the fridge.

happystory · 22/03/2024 13:59

Train noises; people chatting, coughing, laughing, train announcements.

Grumpynan · 22/03/2024 14:00

Men laying our new front path, and the puppy squeaking her red Dino toy.

why the tears telomeres ?💐

UneTasse · 22/03/2024 14:03

Birds, and my tween flattening out Ferrero Rocher tin foil on the coffee table.

Oh - and Malory Towers now. :)

Shetlands · 22/03/2024 14:05

Nothing - I'm not wearing my hearing aids at the moment so I can't hear birdsong and that's probably the only sound happening here. If my dog barks I'll hear that.
