I'VE GOT BEES IN MY HEAD

 


It's hard to describe tinnitus to people who've never experienced it.

Medical authorities on the web variously describe the sounds heard by the person with tinnitus as being whooshing sounds, ringing, clicking, cicada sounds, whistling, hissing, squealing and buzzing.

I've never experienced the squealing other than the complaints that Robert makes when I criticise his religious posts nor have I heard the 'whooshing'. I have experienced all the others though and the funny thing is that the 'sounds' vary by type and intensity from time to time. 

Today I'll admit that I hear buzzing in my ears which sometimes is loud enough to think that there is a swarm of bees in there.


I wonder if it relates to this idiom?


Nah, probably not. I'm not a compulsive obsessive like the other bloggers. That sounds more like Richard harping on (see what I did there) about his violin practice or Robert banging on about church sermons.

Sorry to hear that.
Or sorry you hear that.

The hum?

Oh!
You mean Richard playing his double bass?
5% is a bit generous.
