Head shaking noise?
« on: February 16, 2007, 07:47:39 am »
Does anyone else experience a strange sound when you shake your head? It sounds like a "boing-boing" :P, or like a rubber band being pulled inside my head. I don't hear it at any other time, and it's only on the AN side.

Hi Lisa:
          I hear a crackling sound when I turn my head side to side, just below the center of my skull.

Hi,
This is so strange. I just posted a comment on the very same thing.  I haven't been DX with AN...yet. MRI March 3.
When I walk or move my head, I get this feeling in my L ear (problem ear) and head. The best way to describe this is that is feels like my ear drum is moving with each step. A flutter of sorts, with a pressure behind it. The sound is like a flag in the wind..sort of.
Picture a broken window covered with plastic, and the air pressure moves it back and forth. That's what it feels like. No Fluid present.
What the heck is that? 
Nancyann...I also have a crackling at the base of my skull. My GP thinks it's arthritis...

Hi Ingy - Yep, I thought it might be arthritis since the sound is so creaky...these old bones....

Yep hears strange noises when turning head from left to right.  When I go left it's a different noise than when I go right.  My neck is tighter on the left side too.  I'd rather blame it on the AN than my old age!   ;D

This has reminded me...

about six yrs before my an diagnosis, (which was late in coming), my neck made "cracking" noises when i moved it... my gp at the time, said it was arthritis from an old whiplash injury... interestingly, my spinal mri showed disc probs and some compression and otehr stuff but no one since has mentioend arthritis in the neck...

haven't made the cracking noise for a long time now...

Yes, I do! and I've never been able to describe what it sounds like but I like your "boing-boing".  I rarely shake my head but I get it when I turn my head sometimes.  I also get the crackling noise at the base of my neck.  Thanks for describing this for me.

Greetings Sefra22
  I've been have dizziness for over a year and just realized that when I turn my head side to side, I "boing-boing" too. There's no pain and the dizziness isn't at the same time.
Have you had dizziness?
Thanks

I don't hear anything when I shake my head, but I do hear what sounds like a choir singing inside my head when I lay my head down on the pillow at night. 

Anyone else have this problem?

I wish what I hear sounded as good as a choir singing inside my head ;)
