Brain Activity and Tinnitus

[Macrocosm]

The C's have talked about ear ringing before. It could be tinnitus (classified under phantom perception) or it could be for other purposes.

Here is an excerpt from Session 14 September 2002

Q: (Montalk) I don't know if this has been addressed before, but what are some possible causes of intermittent ear ringing? (C) I have some theories about it but I want to know if my theories are correct.

A: Monitoring as well as picking up programming signals and also some background "universe" noise.

Q: (C) The reason we ask is because I've noticed a pattern. I even keep a log about it now because it's so weird. I personally get ear ringing when it seems like I'm talking to somebody out loud or to myself about a theory about something that has to do with matrix stuff. (L) So you're being monitored? (C) Right. So any time it seems like I'm having a breakthrough thought - you know drones, the matrix, the programs, holographic inserts - all of the sudden I'll get like an ear ringing. Sometimes the left, sometimes the right, but I'm trying to find out what the pattern is. So I'm keeping track of it. (Montalk) What process is responsible for creating the actual ringing noise?

A: Partly "interpretation" by neural processes that, at some level, recognize the potential and issue symptomatic warning.

The question is, on a physiological level, are the two distinguishable from each other?

I came across this article earlier today about research done by Oxford scientists several years ago. This video summarizes the concept behind the research:

AI Summary (a bit offl

The video discusses the connection between tinnitus and sleep (0:24). Tinnitus is a condition causing people to hear phantom ringing or buzzing sounds (0:03). About 15% of the global population experiences this during waking hours (0:14).

In 2022, neuroscientists at the University of Oxford reviewed studies on both conditions and found that brain regions involved in deep sleep seems to occur when these brain regions are hyperactive, while deep sleep is associated with slow-wave activity in these areas (0:42).

It is suggested that as the need for sleep decreases, unusual activity in these brain areas might trigger phantom sounds in people with tinnitus (0:54). Currently, there is no cure for tinnitus (1:02), but understanding its overlap with sleep could lead to improved management and potentially reveal more about the workings of sleep itself (1:05).

The research revolves around the idea that the same areas in the brain are involved with both sleep and tinnitus, and that the two have an inverse relationship.

What interests me is that the brain gets hyperactive in some area with tinnitus. That's not always the case with normal senses or even other phantom precepts.

I was thinking the hyperactivity might be linked with interacting with external stimuli and such. I'm not well versed in this field, so I'll just throw the idea out there for the curious.

I have that problem since I was i kid.In complete silent I hear that buzzing in head all the time every day mostly when I'm going to sleep.And it's not in ears but in middle of head,that's how I perceive it.Also I hear humming, simultaneously,and that humming is in right ear I think because I hear it like there is some kind of machine working in basement from my right side.And it change intensity,one moment sounds like someone push the gas of machine and then release.Every day for years.Just few days ago I went to sleep and listening all that symphony and thinking :dear lord I can't "hear" the silent.Sad but I use to it.I spoke with the doctor and of course there is no solution for that.Any thoughts, I'll be greatfull.
