There is an electric sound in my ears when it is quiet

In daily life, sometimes it is very quiet, and at this time we will feel the sound of electric current in our ears. There are many reasons for this situation, it may be caused by too much stress. The sound of electricity in the ears when it is quiet does not necessarily mean that you are sick, it may be a sign of nervous relaxation. If there is an electric sound in the ear when you are quiet and it does not improve for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid worsening of the condition.

1. It is normal and common to hear electric sounds in the ears when it is quiet. It is the result of autonomous discharge of nerves and is not considered pathological tinnitus. Once sound appears to stimulate the auditory nerve, the nerve discharge will naturally change from a disordered state to a working state. It's like a speaker and a microphone. When there is no output or input, the output and input of the background sound will be increased, so you can hear the speaker humming. When there is no sound, the microphone will increase the rustling sound very loudly because the microphone is trying hard to find out whether there is any sound. The same is true for hearing. When you can't hear any sound, you will want to do something because you have nothing to do. The quieter it is, the more nothing you have to do, and the more anxious you become to find some sound. As long as it is a living neuron, it is impossible to prevent it from discharging and transmitting signals. If there is no correct signal to transmit, it will output some signals itself, which makes it easy to spread rumors. The more you pay attention to this sound, the more likely your brain will invest more neural resources to create this sound for you to hear. Because you can't find the sound, you have to create waves out of nothing.

If your attention is not on the sound but on something else, you will not be able to hear it, because that is not the sound, but the result of the auditory nerve responding to the brain's request. Do not exaggerate this normal physiological phenomenon, or even treat it as a disease. Doing so in the long run will really lead to compulsion, hysteria, and other conditions that affect your life. By autonomously mobilizing your attention and the brain's neuronal resources to transmit signals to meaningful things, you can reduce the brain resources occupied by auditory background noise.

2. If you always hear electric sound in your ears, you may have tinnitus, which is related to stress. According to traditional Chinese medicine, tinnitus is related to the kidneys. The kidney and heart open up to the ears, and can treat tinnitus caused by depletion of kidney essence and empty brain marrow. Recommendation: Nourish the kidneys regularly. You can add or subtract ingredients from Liuwei Dihuang, add Bupleurum and magnet as appropriate, and you can also add some medicines to open the heart, such as Acorus calamus and Polygala tenuifolia.
