Hello. I'm a 54 yo female and am in good health, so I thought. I have accute hearing, more so than average, because I hear things that a lot of ppl don't. In the last month, I started hearing low frequency sounds, and we shut everything off in the house, and the noise continued. I did not hear this while on vacation so I believe it does externally exist, but still have not figured out the culprit. Anyway, in the last two weeks I found that I could tap my head, above and behind both ears and in the center of my forehead, and cause a vibrational sound, much like a low frequency tuning fork. I can control the sound by either turning it on briefly by tapping, or when it continues on its own, I can tap and shut it off. When my husband snores at certain low frequencies this will set off this vibrational sound, and then when I tap my head, it shuts it off. If I brush my hair or scratch my head, during the day, I am aware of this, but not as accutely as at night. On the second time of tapping my head, I awoke the next morning with vertigo. I arose from bed and almost fell to my left, sideways, which was the side I was tapping. When I lie down and close my eyes, the room briefly spins. When I arise, I have to sit on the edge of the bed to gain my equilibrium. If I turn in bed, I get the same spinning, dizzy feeling. During the day, I can maintain my equilibrium pretty well, but I always have a slight disorientation or dizzy feeling, but I don't lose my balance, unless I get up from sitting on the couch. Anyway, I feel that these are all somehow interconnected, but I have no idea what is happening. I am going to make an appt with a doctor next week, but am unsure what specialty to contact. Have you ever heard of this before, and if so, what could it be? Also, what type of doctor would you recommend I see? Thank you so much for any help you can give. Rhonda
