There’s a ringing in my ears. It’s been going on for about a month now, on and off. It started out very faint and short, like after any normal night at a dance club. It wasn’t even worth noticing at first, but then it started to grow louder and happen more frequently. It’s now getting to the point where I can’t even hear the TV at full volume from greater than a foot away. My doctor can’t figure out what is causing it; he says that he can’t find anything physically wrong.

The upside to this is that late at night the tones take an almost soothing quality, the low frequency lulling me to sleep. The past week or so though, I think the sounds have been changing right as I go to sleep. I don’t know if it’s just me entering REM, but as I drift off, the ringing changes, sounding a bit like rushing water or a gentle breeze. I’ve told my doctor about it, but he’s just as baffled as ever about this.

Tonight as I’m writing this, the ringing has gone, for now at least. I haven’t heard the slightest beeping or anything all day. Although I’m glad for relief, it’s hard to sleep so I’ve turned on the news. There’s a breaking story. A man had fallen out his window. As the reporters are speculating whether or not this could be a suicide, citing his history of delusions, the sound of rushing water fills my ears and give me a vision of the dead man cupping his ears, white gooey fluid oozing through his fingers before crashing through the window.

My heart is pounding as the sound in my ears starts fluctuating, beginning to sound something like speech. Don't worry, we like you, for now.
