Hi, Trev, how do you do?
I am not completely Hum free, I still hear the Hum with my right ear though more bearable for now. I believe that ototoxicity due to some drugs and substances make us susceptible to start hearing the Hum. Many drugs and substances, including mercury in the teeth and lidocaine, used for dental anaesthesia, are ototoxic. That is why children and young people are usually not susceptible to the Hum as their ears have not been damaged by drugs and other toxic substances. Further more, there might be (like in my case), a damage to the outer hair cells which are responsible for sound frequency modulation and which act as a sound pre-amplifiers, thus leading to hearing loss in the high frequencies. (The more damaged the hearing, the more chances are that you hear the Hum, and even if you are deaf). It is the same as tuning a radio to different Hz…For the moment there is a flickering hope that ototoxicity can be reversed and the hair cells can be re-grown by stem cells treatment. On the other hand, tinnitus may be induced by the Hum energy (where it applies to the middle ear myoclonus of the tensor timpani or stapedius muscle) – imagine the vibration produced in the ear drum by the Hum and the impact it has on the adjacent muscles. Tensor timpani myoclonus is described by the sufferers as a hellish experience of a slow rhythmic beat or pulse (not the heartbeat) or thumping sound and vibration and I have experienced this during some grave episodes of the Hum. Stapedius muscle myoclonus, on the contrary, results in a high pitched sound and feels like a butterfly flutter. It can be recorded by examiners and recordings are available on the internet… TT myoclonus can be managed by some drugs used for temporal lobe epilepsy or Botox (not recommended), or successfully stopped by surgical section of the related tendon. In this case there are reports that the thumping sound and vibration have stopped. No hearing loss has been observed afterwards (though it may be expected after such surgery). I wonder whether this could be of help (to alleviate symptoms) for Hum sufferers. Knowing that the Hum can be heard via a bone conduction, I doubt that a complete Hum alleviation can be achieved but still hope… If the Hum is related to the microwave hearing (and the dirty power), then things are even more complicated and this would explain why the soft tissues on my head and forehead are vibrating. This would explain also the fast hammering sound (not the one discussed above) which some would mistake for tinnitus but is only temporary and is also a sign of the Hum. 19 юни 2013, сряда, 23:58:21 UTC+1, Trev написа: > > Hi Lidia- sounds like you 've done a lot of probing over your own Hum. > You would make a good test subject, I think. pity the Gov't is not likely > to do such work.
