What is that ticking noise?
Thu, 08/18/2005 - 09:15Every now and then, when it's quiet, I hear a "tick tick tick" in my ear. Such a light sound, in fact that if music was playing I wouldn't even hear it.When I say "light" - I mean LIGHT! It's not a loud ticking sound like a clock. It's like someone is taking their fingernail and flicking it. But much more lighter than that.It's not constant. It just happens in groups of 3 or 4 or so.WHAT IS THAT???I've only noticed it since I've been on the meds. Or maybe it's happened before that.Anyone familiar?Oh ya...And what about when you go deaf in one ear all of a sudden or it suddenly feels like everything sounds far away. Anyone hear of that?I've been recently diagnosed with Epilepsy 1 month ago.Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

I have this! I was just now researching what it could be and it brought me to this site. I’m a bit concerned now because although I was born with epilepsy, having grand mal seizures every day until I was 10yrs old, I have outgrown it. I’m now going to be 59yr next week and I’m concerned.
