dizzyk Freaj Yep, I guess it's really been explained already- however, I was wondering if someone could clarify a related matter; I heard that when you hear those high-pitched noises in your ear for a few seconds (not actually a sound generated outside of your body- only you can hear it) that it is one of the cillia 'dying' or being damaged or some such, and apparently you'll never be able to hear something at that particular frequency again. Does anyone know whether this is true or not? It does kind of fit with the theory of what we were talking about before... Yes, those high-pitched noises in your ear that only you can hear, are signals that something is going on. Sometimes it is cilia "dying", sometimes it is signifying an irritation or damage. High fevers can cause them, as can infections, loud noises, high frequencies, trauma (such as head injuries), medications, etc. Everyone starts out with several cilia per tone, frequency, sound. As long as only some of the ones in a certain range are killed, you will still be able to hear those sounds/frequencies, although probably not as well. Once enough of them are gone, then forget hearing that sound again. 
ok I admit it, you were kinda right...  Someone tried it when we were in class and the sub couldn't hear it but the normal teacher could kinda hear it. I made this when I tried it on multiple adults and they didn't respond to it so I just assumed that it work for any adult...

Even if adults can't hear them you still aren't gonna get away with text messaging in class. Those things are annoying, like having the worlds most annoying mosquito in your ear. I would report you just because of how annoying it is.
But on a semi related note. Why is it when i wake up i have ringing in my ears. I figure it has something to do with my inner ear fluid rapidly moving as I first raise my head. I didn't think it is hearing loss since i don't have any ringing at any other time.

Don't bet that all adults can't hear them either. Because of my work (I'm a video editor) I have a much wider frequency sensitivity than the average adult, and I'm downright ancient by your standards. I can sit with my back to a TV and tell you where the edits are by the change in the whine of the CRT (haven't tried it with plasma).
And, oh yes, those ringtones annoy the devil out of me.

I hate those ringtones. Kids used to constantly let it go off in my math class and I was quite tempted to throw all their phones out of the second story window and laugh when they busted on the bottom. scream A couple of my friends and I have lots of trouble with those ringtones because we're so sensitive to the frequency.
