Hearing The Tv?

Okay, I know this may sound weird, and it probably has nothing to do with Celiac... but... I hear the T.V. on even when there is no sound. Like if I am upstairs and say the T.V. downstairs is on input or something like that so no sound is coming out, I get a ringing sound in my ear. It is really weird. I told my family and they think that I am crazy :rolleyes: but then again maybe I am. :D Does anyone else get this??? (even if its not associated with Celiac)

OH MY GOD!!! YOU TOO????

I though I was losing my mind!!!! With me having collagenous colitis, which is quite nocturnal, I am usually up from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. My bowels wake me up around 2 and it doesn't usually settle down until 5 or 6 a.m.

I always lay down on the couch in the living room to use the downstairs bathroom so I don't wake anybody up. Well, when I am laying there, I swear I can hear the TV downstairs in the basement. More than one occasion I have gone down there to see if hubby has accidently left it on or something, but nope, total silence down there.

I was beginning to think my house was haunted by ghosts who like to watch the tube while everyone else was sleeping!!!!

I can't believe someone else experiences this..........

Thank you for re-inforcing my faith in my sanity!!!

OMG!! That is SOOOO WEIRD!!

At least I am not alone!! :D Thank YOU for re-inforcing MY faith in MY sanity! LOL

It's kinda cool though because I feel like I have a superpower.

Like the other night I came home from vacation and I heard that the T.V. was on so I told my parents. Sure enough it was! And if someone forgets to turn it off, like if they have a cable box or something that doesn't need to turn the T.V. off, I "save them". ;)

Well, now I am VERY glad that someone else has it too!

Mine seems to be a touch different than yours.....

When I am laying there, I literally hear the dull drone of a TV show actually being on. It's like the very faint distant drone of talking, exactly the same sound as when hubby is down there watching TV while I'm up here on the computer......

Maybe my faith is not so re-inforced now......... :huh:

Actually, I think you're just hearing the electrical "whine" that comes out of the TV. All electronic equipment produces noise as long as it's on, due to the power flow through the circuits. In some appliances, it's louder than others; in some, the frequency is different than others. If you happen to be particularly sensitive to picking up a particular frequency, you may hear it much better than other people. (This is true for me particularly with our power subwoofer in our entertainment center. It pretty much stays on all the time because it's not annoying, but I can here it if I walk by. And it's only somewhat of a conscious "hearing". Weird "feeling", but normal.)

(Credit to lots of conversations with my brother in law for understanding all sorts of acoustic/auditory tidbits of information.)

Oh! That makes sense. That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for making me feel not crazy! :D Now I can just tell everyone that I have sensitive ears!

When we were kids, my brother used to test me on this - he'd turn the contrast on the tv so it was black and the volume down, and then ask if the tv was on or not (I'd leave the room). I could always tell. I can tell when a monitor or tv is on but no signal in any room in the house. It feels like being psychic but I know it's the sound.

When I was in physics in high school, our teacher tested us with sounds of different frequencies and this one other kid (named Steve, funny, because I'm Stephanie) and I were the only two who could hear the frequency that supposedly, only gerbils could hear.

Funny to read this thread!

I am very sensitive to electrical fields. This doesn't cause any problems but I can "feel" when a TV gets turned on in another room of the house even when I can't hear it. I can also "feel" where hidden electrical lines are like behind a wall for example. It is probably just a heightened sensitivity to certain frequencies created by electrical fields.

Karen, I get this too. I also get the other electric noise everyone else is talking about. But when I am lying in my bed reading at night and the rest of the house is quiet, I can hear conversations and music and such. There have been times where I have gotten up to check to see if the TV was left on (it never has been the TV).

I think some of it might be my neighbors. Their house and bedroom walls are about 12 feet from my bedroom wall. In the daytime I can sometimes hear the teenager's music up a bit too loud, so I figure some of the noise is that. But not ALL of it. Even when they aren't home I sometimes hear it! Do you have neighbors close by?

I have always had sensitive ears. Loud noises hurt and I can hear things many others can't. My kids don't seem to realise this and when they are having "private" conversations in the other room I can hear them! It kinda comes in handy sometimes... :D It isn't really eaves dropping, I'm not TRYING to hear their conversations. But I've caught them doing some interesting things that way.

I also have a sensitive nose. I smelled gas in my kitchen one time and called the gas company. The guy comes out and says he doesn't smell anything. I make him check the stove anyhow, and he had to get his little meter thing all the way down to touching the gas pipe and there was a tiny little leak. He couldn't believe I could smell it! Now anytime I smell gas at a friends house I tell them to call the gas company! I am extremely sensitive to perfumes and chemical scents too. They give me headaches.

Oh yeah and sensitive eyes. Bright lights and flashing lights bring on instant headaches, that will turn in to migraines if the source isn't stopped. No disco balls for me thanks! :P There are times when driving is hard because the light flashes through the trees and makes me crazy. My eye doctor told me that it is an actual condition and bright/flashing lights should try tp be avoided. I wear sunglasses all the time outdoors and (if I am not the driver) I even wear them at night because the glare from the headlights hurts. It also causes me to have some night blindness...

My husband just says I am a sensitive person. I guess so.

God bless,

Mariann

I am also very light sensitive also. I have to wear sunglasses all of the time until it gets completely dark out. The good thing about that is my electric bill is really low because I don't need to turn the lights on as often as others do.

Yep, I am sensitive to light too. I keep sunglasses with me most of the time.

You have sensitive eyes, ears, nose, and taste (because of Celiac)!

You have sensitive senses! :P

I can tell when the tv is on or not even with the tv black and no volume like a poster three posts ago (I think?). I hear the electric whatever or the sort of electric static that no one else in my family does.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
