Hearing noises. Am I going bonkers?

Tinnitus?

But wouldnt that mean he could'nt hear anything he spoke..........have i got the wrong disease.......i'm not really sure

Your bike's bugged

If the doctors say you're paranoid it means they're in on the plot.

Phone buttons being pressed in your pocket/bag...does it make that noise when shutting down for eg?

I think you have the wrong thing. Seems unlikely to be Tinnitus anyway but, possibly, it's triggered by the exercise if it is?

You never actually hear what you're saying, whilst you're saying it anyway. So it can't be that.

Maybe you should learn Mose Code?

Do you by any chance have metallic fillings in your teeth? Not sure whether or not it is a myth but some say fillings can pick up electrical / radio interference and cause noises.

Thanks, all good suggestions and I'll see if I can narrow things down a bit but I've looked at stuff like bike noises, phone noises and so on.
Fortunately it's not constant, it happens now then. Sometimes once, sometimes spaced 10 or 15 seconds apart for a minute or so.

I've heard something about people hearing bangs, or crashing noises (due to pressure in the inner ear I think), but not beeping noises. Might be something similar though?

 

[Crackle]

Funnily enough, Colly, I went past a hedge that was beeping today. I reckon someone had launched their alarm clock into it. Probably not the same thing though.

Have you been with anybody else when you have heard these noises? Ask a second opinion of your riding companion, if possible.

I had a similar experience a couple of years ago in hospital.
I was moved to a new ward and almost immediately I was able to hear voices and music, albeit very quietly and intermittently.

After the nurses telling me several times that there was no radios and treating me like I was a bit daft, a few days later I asked a nurse one night and she immediately switched a small dial beside my bed and it stopped. Turned out it was the hospital radio which had supposedly been switched off in the ward, but nobody knew it was still going

I have tinnitus and can hear my own voice by the way.

Few weeks ago wife and I were woken up several times by a short beep that we couldn't track down. Thought it might be a smoke alarm battery running down as we've had that one happen but couldn't trace it for several nights. Eventually found to be the watch my wife had bought for my birthday, hourly chime enabled and stuffed in the back of the wardrobe so it was only audible in the middle of the night.

I also remember the foul mouthed cretin in Felixstowe who screamed abuse at me for failing to close the port down so he wasn't disturbed by the reversing alarm that woke him at 04:00 every morning. Never did get an apology when I found out that it was the alarm clock his daughter had set to wake her up in time to get back to university on a Monday morning and forgotten to cancel.

(Please forgive me going Off Topic for a few moments. I've never done it before ... )

When my late parents were old and frail (but not yet 'late'!), my sisters and I subscribed to an alarm service for them. We got them a special speaker phone base station which we programmed with the telephone numbers of 3 family members. The base station sat in their lounge, next to my dad's armchair.

Both parents were given wireless alarm bracelets which they could use to alert the base station if they fell, or there was some other emergency. The system would then repeatedly phone round the 3 family numbers until someone answered. If nobody 'picked up' within a reasonable period of time, somebody from the alarm company would attempt to use the speaker phone to talk to my parents. If they were unable to get a response that way, they would call out an ambulance.

My sister's phone rang at midnight. My brother-in-law answered and heard my father whispering into his extension phone ...

"Please come and help us, there are intruders in the house downstairs!"

B-i-L quickly got on his bike and sprinted round to my boyhood home. He quietly unlocked the front door with his spare key and crept into the house. Sure enough, he could hear somebody's voice coming from the lounge. He threw open the door, leapt in and heard a disembodied female voice coming from the alarm base station ...

"The batteries in this unit need replacing - please do so as soon as possible! ... The batteries in this unit need replacing - please do so as soon as possible! ..."

(But seriously - it was a pretty stupid design feature for a phone system designed for vulnerable people! The message should have been sent to one of the family members on the alert list instead.)

Electric fences sometimes have a bleeper.
