Loud 'buzzing' in/near ears

[eidahl]

After awakening for the 3rd (at least, I think so), I 'felt' / 'heard' a loud buzz (more like noise/static of a radio) in my ears... as if someone turned up the volume of my ears, but no other outside sounds were amplified. This 'sound' came and went (lasted for awhile), and I was able to 'bring' it again by trying to imitate the feeling I had, although it was weaker than before. It disappeared after I got up out of bed. The buzz also happened to me before, I believe. I've heard some people say that they hear a buzz / crackling when they were attempting to induce WILD, perhaps this is related? AND yes, I'm sure it wasn't a fly or mosquito.

I think it's absolutely normal. I remember how I once suddenly woke up hearing some woman scream in my ears...

when im come home really drunk i hear/feel the buzzing in my ears and i usually fall asleep somewhat soon right after that...i think its rem sleep crossing over too soon

Yeah, I get this sometimes. More often, I get it if I'm trying to WILD, and especially if I'm wearing ear-plugs. Sort of a loud highish-frequency buzzing or ringing sound, similar to what it sounds like to have an explosion nearby deafen you temporarily. At least, I think that's what you're talking about? I'm not exactly sure why we get it, though. Wish I could be more help...

it seems to be sleep paralysis related in most cases. i have had it many times, almost always directly accompanied by sleep paralysis. next time try "tuning in" to the frequency, and you have a decent shot at WILDING.

i have an almost constand ringing sound in my ears, sleep or awake for as long as i can remember, even before i started lucid dreaming. when im about to transition in wild, it gets so loud that i think that my ear drums are going to blow out. its weird..is that normal?

[Manifold_Time]

is that normal?[/b] I believe it is normal. Mine can get very intense when attempting WILD that I almost expect the amplitude of the sound to be painful, even though it isn't. It may just be the onset of auditory hypnogogia.

Sometimes I can hear noises, like voices, during the transision from awake to sleeping. It's all part of hypnagogic imagery/sounds.
