Jean in Newcastle Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have ringing in my ears. Have you ever heard of something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca VA Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Are you sure the ringing is in your ears? Could it be that the string connected with that key is vibrating too much? We have one or two notes that over-vibrate when our piano needs to be tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one or two notes that over-vibrate when our piano needs to be tuned. The G below middle C is doing that on our piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMA Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Could you have tinnitus? It seems that you found the matching pitch that makes the ringing in your ears. I would consult an ENT about this. Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 It could just be that your eardrums are vibrating in sympathy with a particular pitch. True story: When I was in college, I started to notice that I was sneezing an awful lot during orchestra practice. When I started putting two and two together, I realized that the sneezes would almost always follow prolonged or repeated playing (by me, not the gal next to me, mind you) of the F above the staff. I finally worked out that I could avoid most of the sneezing by taking a decongestant before class/performances. It didn't seem to bother me as much when I was practicing alone, perhaps because I practiced standing most of the time, or perhaps because the small practice room didn't give the note a chance to "ring." The only thing I could figure was that that particular pitch caused vibrations of the fluid in my sinus cavities, and that the less fluid there was, the less likely I was to sneeze. People look at me like I'm wacko when I tell that story, but it's absolutely true!:blink::lol: I hope you get over the ringing soon. It can be awfully distracting if not downright annoying! -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
