Definition: Tinnitus is hearing ringing, buzzing, or other sounds without an external cause. Patients may experience tinnitus in one or both ears or in the head.
I have this most annoying case of tinnitus!! It sounds like a low pitched humming in my ears..It is about to make me crazy..I feel like those people who say they hear voices! I do believe that Easton is a good cause of this since he screams directly in my ear while I'm trying to put him in his room for time-out or for any number of reasons! That kid has a set of lungs, and he stiffens his whole body as he screams! Therefore, deafening all who are in ear-shot, or anyone in the neighborhood for that matter! Nate thinks its all in my head, (it truly is, given the definition) and its really bad at night while its silent!! Am I crazy?! Well, I'm hesitant to see a doctor, for the mere fact that NOBODY else hears it so I DO sound crazy for saying, "what is that humming noise?"AAAGH!
I do hope that Easton's screaming stops, I get so frazzled and stressed when all he does is scream! The worst is when Emily also starts screaming, but she is telling him to "STOP SCREAMING, YOU SCREAMER WEAMER!!!!" She is lovely. Mostly a very good helper, but she gets just as annoyed by the insanely loud screams! I silently sing, "I am a Child of God" so that I myself can avoid screaming back.. There have been moments where Emily gets scared cause she finds her mommy in the bedroom screaming into the pillow.. Relate anyone? Okay, so I'm hoping that the humming will stop, or the screaming, one of the two!
WE LOVE YOU EASTON, whether you are screaming or smiling!!!

Your not the only one who hears the ringing in their ears! I too have this condition, not so much lately but still every once in a while. Hate it. Today Bergen and Matayia were banging pots and pans VERY LOUDLY. It was deafening. Maybe we should wear ear plugs.
How annoying! There is nothing worse than when you are the only one that hears or sees something and you have to convince others that it is real and you aren't losing your mind!! Hopefully it will start to wear off. Kids, you have to love them, screams, kicks, yells and all!! :o)
