Yes.And pain.Very unnatural.Like torture.You can not even hear the thing unless it is barely audible.It hurts alot.Makes children have much energy.Maybe it is a reciever,a chip implanted?I don't know.If it is they sneaked it in in my sleep.I seen the spot on the back of me neck.Non metallic,I had it scanned with metal detector.

No they donot.\n\nUsing headphones at a sufficiently high volume level causes temporary or permanent hearing impairment or deafness. Other risks arise from the reduced awareness of external sounds — some jurisdictions regulate the use of headphones while driving vehicles. Also, most European countries have imposed high penalties since 2002 on drivers not using a headset while operating a mobile phone in a car, to ensure that drivers keep their hands on the vehicle's controls.\n\nusing them for a long time might cause bacterial growth in the ears

It's largely biological (specifically neurobiological).  In a normally funcioning sense of hearing, sound stimulates the receptive organs in the ear.  This stimulation is converted into electronic signals that are sent to the brain.\nThe brain interprets these signals automatically (very subjectively, I might add).\nThe concious interprets the interpretation of the signals.  Some people have trained their concious mind to be better at interpreting audio data.  They can more accurately determine the acutal meaning of the original data that entered the ear.\nIf someone sings, they make their vocal chords vibrate at a frequency they believe matches the pitch they are hearing.  If they misinterpreted the pitch they heard, the tone they sing will generally not match up properly, thus creating off-key singing.\n\nThe best cure is usually practice.  Practice listening to music and singing along with it.  Record yourself and listen to the recordings.  Figure out where you are messing up and how to change that.  The big exception is people who have suffered hearing loss.  They can help their singing abilities by improving their hearing.

you can get deph and hearing loss. But make sure you only listen 2 through 4 hours a day. It can really hurt your hearing. If you listen 24 7 then that;s a problem but stilll it can hurt your hearing and you can't hear anymore! Sound will not be! So listen 2 or 4 hours a day. DON'T LISTEN TO IT TOOOOOOO MUCH! KAY?

Ringing of the ear is called Tinnitus.\nInside your inner ear, thousands of auditory cells maintain an electrical charge. Microscopic hairs form a fringe on the surface of each auditory cell. When they're healthy, these hairs move in relation to the pressure of sound waves. The movement triggers the cell to discharge electricity through the auditory nerve. Your brain interprets these signals as sound.\n\nIf the delicate hairs inside your inner ear are bent or broken, they move randomly in a constant state of irritation. Unable to hold their charge, the auditory cells "leak" random electrical impulses to your brain as noise.\n\nDamage to auditory cells in your inner ear most commonly results from:\n\nAge-related hearing loss (presbycusis). This process usually begins around age 60. \nNoise-related damage to your inner ear. This erosion of your hearing ability may result from excessive exposure to loud noise over a long period of time. Tractors, chain saws and weapons are common sources of noise-related hearing loss. Portable music devices, such as MP3 players or iPods, may become a common source of noise-related hearing loss in the future if people play these devices loudly for long periods. \nOther causes of tinnitus may include:\n\nLong-term use of certain medications. Aspirin used in large doses and certain types of antibiotics can affect inner ear cells. Often the unwanted noise disappears when you stop using these drugs. \nChanges in ear bones. Stiffening of the bones in your middle ear (otosclerosis) may affect your hearing. \nInjury. Trauma to your head or neck can damage your inner ear. \nCertain disorders of your blood vessels can cause a type of tinnitus called pulsatile tinnitus. These may include:\n\nAtherosclerosis. With age and buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits, major blood vessels close to your middle and inner ear lose some of their elasticity — the ability to flex or expand slightly with each heartbeat. That causes blood flow to become more forceful and sometimes more turbulent, making it easier for your ear to detect the beats. \nHigh blood pressure. Hypertension and factors that increase blood pressure, such as stress, alcohol and caffeine, can make the sound more noticeable. Repositioning your head usually causes the sound to disappear. \nTurbulent blood flow. Narrowing or kinking in a carotid artery or jugular vein can cause turbulent blood flow and head noise. \nMalformation of capillaries. A condition called A-V malformation, which occurs in the connections between arteries and veins, can result in head noise. \nHead and neck tumors. Tinnitus may be a symptom of a tumor in your head or neck.  \n\nSo as not to cause panic.  Maybe it's just a simple case of water trapped in your ear. or an infection called otitis media.  It would be prudent for you to go see an EENT for proper diagnosis. and treatment.  All you need might only be an ear irrigation.\n\nTinnitus is usually caused by a head injury, an infection, such as colds or sinus infection or sinusitis, a disease or exposure to loud sounds such as gunshots and explosions.\n\nIt can be a sign of hearing loss, or it can result from head injuries, or diseases that range from the common cold to diabetes. People who work with noisy equipment, such as power tools, can also get it. Or tinnitus may be initiated by a single loud noise, such as a gunshot or an explosion. It can also be a symptom of almost any ear disorder, including the following:\n\n Ear infections \n Blocked ear canal \n Blocked eustachian tube \n Otosolerosis \n Tumors of the middle ear \n Meniere's disease \n Damage to the ear caused by drugs (such as aspirin and some antibiotics) \n Hearing loss \n Blast injury from a blast or explosion \n\nTinnitus may also occur with other disorders such as anemia, heart and blood vessel disorders including hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and low thyroid hormone levels in the blood (hypothyroidism).\n\nA wide variety

Try to be more productive from now on instead of going straight here to ask a question.\nI found it INSTANTLY when I typed in "the effects of noise pollution" in google. Check my source(s)

Listen to your inner voice more. But beware, listen too much and it can get too noisy.

Sorry to tell you this, but I bet your eardrums are just fine. Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent due to nerve damage in the cochlea. Prevent further damage by turning down the volume. If you can feel the bass, it's too loud. Stop using your ipod or walkman, and wear earplugs if you go to a concert or work in a noisy environment. You will still be able to hear the music at a concert if you do this, as well as prevent further damage.

The frequency of the sound wave determines the pitch.  When you speed up a recording, you are increasing the frequencey, so pitch rises.  The reverse happens when you slow down a recording.

The high pitched sounds you describe sound like a condition called "tinnitus". You might get more information if you look for that word, for example with an internet search engine.\n\nHave you seen an Audiologist as well as a Neurologist? If not, it might help as they may be able to give you more information and support.

Like on a chalk board? the high pitch just sounds unnatural. My brother will throw up if he hears high pitched sounds. I always say don't scratch your butt around him, LOL.

Frequency. That is what it is all about, not decibals(loudness).Light and sound and radio....they are all waves, and sound carries a signature wave frequency. Some high frequencies cannot be heard by the human ear, even though our bodies and even voices produce high-frequency sounds we cannot hear all of the time. Did you ask the flatulence question as well? That applies in some rare occurences as well. Children can hear some frequencies that adults cannot. There is even a device sold that emits this frequency to annoy and chase off children and loitering teens. (It has been in the headlines recently because some adult humans can still hear this frequency well into their 30's.)\nUnless you asked this Q wrong, there is no sound too loud to be heard unless the eardrum is blown instantly.Very loud sounds are usually felt too in vibration, so even if you're eardrum blew you would still feel it and thusly "hear" the sound as a fully deaf person would.

I have Meniere's disease. What you describe happens to me. Loud voices and sounds are distorted and sometimes can be like finger nails on a chalkboard. I think that this could be because...as a result of the Meniere's, I've lost my low range hearing. I especially can't understand what's being said in a noise filled room weather it be sound or voices. I have learned to compensate through lip reading. I didn't realize just how much I was doing this until I went for a hearing test. I was reading the guys lips when he told me to repeat words that he was saying. I was doing O.K. until he figured out what I was doing and covered his mouth. It was down hill from there. There are other symptoms that go along with having this disease and I hope that this is not what you have. There are web sites that you can go to that will explain all that is involved..including the hearing distortions. I hope that I've helped.

Taken from Anderson, Brett, The treble and the damage done…\nVol. 20, Twin Cities Reader, 01-11-1995, pp 15. Sometimes my ears ring dull and low. I hear something that sounds like a cross between the hum of a Hammond organ and the purr of a well-tuned luxury car. Other times the noise is a faint, high squeal that alternately surges and recedes like surf. Most often, my head hisses like the inside of seashell, causing a cool sensation that feels like my ears are leaking gas. As unpredictable as the nature of my own private echoes might be, it’s certain that I will awake from a night spent sucking down loud rock music with a hangover that has nothing to do with booze.\n\nI’m not alone.\n\n“What happens is the hair cells are damaged, but they’re not dead,” Dr. Sam Levine (an otolarynologist) explains. “As they’re damaged, you lose some of your hearing. Most of the time, if you get out of the environment, your hair cells will recover somewhat. Each day, it [your hearing] comes back, but not as good as it did the day before. Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged instead of temporarily damaged.”\n\nMost people would rather believe that hearing loss is like car accidents, violent crime and tax audits - something that affects other people. There are some famous cases. Who guitarist

Tinnitus          \nit is called Tinnitus\n \nTinnitus, or 'ringing in the ears', refers to hearing sounds such as tones, whistling, wind rushing, crickets, etc. that aren't acoustically generated. In other words, a person with Tinnitus can hear them in a quiet room. The most common Tinnitus sound is a tone.\n\nMost people experience a temporary Tinnitus condition at some point in their life, such as after a loud concert, or as a complication to an inner ear infection. Unfortunately for more than 16% of the adult population, this condition is chronic - it never goes away. Of the 50+ million people in North America with chronic Tinnitus, 12 million have a severe case. For these people it is not unusual to perceive a tone greater than 90 dB-SPL. Note that 80dB-SPL is the level in industry at which a hearing conservation program is required. (Room-level conversation is typically 65 dB-SPL and a jet engine is around 110 dB-SPL) \n\nChronic Tinnitus can be caused in a number of ways: an over-exposure to constant loud or explosive noise (on the job exposure is a common source), reaction to medication, a head injury (car crashes are a common source), complication of illness, and others. \n\nOne of the most common complaints related to Tinnitus is that it adversely affects sleeping patterns. Sufferers find they can't get to sleep in a quiet room because of the annoying sound they perceive in their head. For many, this results in being progressively sleep deprived, and can start a downward spiral in psychological health. The reality is that Tinnitus is the only hearing affliction where anxiety, depression, and contemplating suicide are normal psychological complications. For most sufferers, their perceived level of Tinnitus is not constant and can worsen from exposure to high intensity noise, negative emotional pressures, heavy physical exertion, caffeine, salt, tobacco, allergens, and certain medications. Note that a common complication of aspirin for Tinnitus sufferers is that it temporarily worsens (makes louder) their Tinnitus. \n\nOutside of a cure, the most common desire of Tinnitus sufferers is to be able to control their Tinnitus rather than have it control them. A major factor in this is being able to sleep well and have the energy to face Tinnitus every day. When Tinnitus sufferers feel they have control, they are able to lead productive lives and many are able to get off all medications. The key to getting control is working with an audiologist to establish a personal Tinnitus management program. \n\nA Tinnitus Management program is a set of coping strategies that may vary depending on the level of activity and environment. It rarely is a one-component program. Typical program components include hearing aids, masking, residual inhibition, dietary and lifestyle changes, counseling, and support groups
