Hearing The Tv?

Okay, I know this may sound weird, and it probably has nothing to do with Celiac... but... I hear the T.V. on even when there is no sound. Like if I am upstairs and say the T.V. downstairs is on input or something like that so no sound is coming out, I get a ringing sound in my ear. It is really weird. I told my family and they think that I am crazy :rolleyes: but then again maybe I am. :D Does anyone else get this??? (even if its not associated with Celiac)

OH MY GOD!!! YOU TOO????

I though I was losing my mind!!!! With me having collagenous colitis, which is quite nocturnal, I am usually up from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. My bowels wake me up around 2 and it doesn't usually settle down until 5 or 6 a.m.

I always lay down on the couch in the living room to use the downstairs bathroom so I don't wake anybody up. Well, when I am laying there, I swear I can hear the TV downstairs in the basement. More than one occasion I have gone down there to see if hubby has accidently left it on or something, but nope, total silence down there.

I was beginning to think my house was haunted by ghosts who like to watch the tube while everyone else was sleeping!!!!

I can't believe someone else experiences this..........

Thank you for re-inforcing my faith in my sanity!!!

OMG!! That is SOOOO WEIRD!!

At least I am not alone!! :D Thank YOU for re-inforcing MY faith in MY sanity! LOL

It's kinda cool though because I feel like I have a superpower.

Like the other night I came home from vacation and I heard that the T.V. was on so I told my parents. Sure enough it was! And if someone forgets to turn it off, like if they have a cable box or something that doesn't need to turn the T.V. off, I "save them". ;)

Well, now I am VERY glad that someone else has it too!

Mine seems to be a touch different than yours.....

When I am laying there, I literally hear the dull drone of a TV show actually being on. It's like the very faint distant drone of talking, exactly the same sound as when hubby is down there watching TV while I'm up here on the computer......

Maybe my faith is not so re-inforced now......... :huh:

Actually, I think you're just hearing the electrical "whine" that comes out of the TV. All electronic equipment produces noise as long as it's on, due to the power flow through the circuits. In some appliances, it's louder than others; in some, the frequency is different than others. If you happen to be particularly sensitive to picking up a particular frequency, you may hear it much better than other people. (This is true for me particularly with our power subwoofer in our entertainment center. It pretty much stays on all the time because it's not annoying, but I can here it if I walk by. And it's only somewhat of a conscious "hearing". Weird "feeling", but normal.)

(Credit to lots of conversations with my brother in law for understanding all sorts of acoustic/auditory tidbits of information.)

Oh! That makes sense. That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for making me feel not crazy! :D Now I can just tell everyone that I have sensitive ears!

When we were kids, my brother used to test me on this - he'd turn the contrast on the tv so it was black and the volume down, and then ask if the tv was on or not (I'd leave the room). I could always tell. I can tell when a monitor or tv is on but no signal in any room in the house. It feels like being psychic but I know it's the sound.

When I was in physics in high school, our teacher tested us with sounds of different frequencies and this one other kid (named Steve, funny, because I'm Stephanie) and I were the only two who could hear the frequency that supposedly, only gerbils could hear.

Funny to read this thread!

I am very sensitive to electrical fields. This doesn't cause any problems but I can "feel" when a TV gets turned on in another room of the house even when I can't hear it. I can also "feel" where hidden electrical lines are like behind a wall for example. It is probably just a heightened sensitivity to certain frequencies created by electrical fields.

Karen, I get this too. I also get the other electric noise everyone else is talking about. But when I am lying in my bed reading at night and the rest of the house is quiet, I can hear conversations and music and such. There have been times where I have gotten up to check to see if the TV was left on (it never has been the TV).

I think some of it might be my neighbors. Their house and bedroom walls are about 12 feet from my bedroom wall. In the daytime I can sometimes hear the teenager's music up a bit too loud, so I figure some of the noise is that. But not ALL of it. Even when they aren't home I sometimes hear it! Do you have neighbors close by?

I have always had sensitive ears. Loud noises hurt and I can hear things many others can't. My kids don't seem to realise this and when they are having "private" conversations in the other room I can hear them! It kinda comes in handy sometimes... :D It isn't really eaves dropping, I'm not TRYING to hear their conversations. But I've caught them doing some interesting things that way.

I also have a sensitive nose. I smelled gas in my kitchen one time and called the gas company. The guy comes out and says he doesn't smell anything. I make him check the stove anyhow, and he had to get his little meter thing all the way down to touching the gas pipe and there was a tiny little leak. He couldn't believe I could smell it! Now anytime I smell gas at a friends house I tell them to call the gas company! I am extremely sensitive to perfumes and chemical scents too. They give me headaches.

Oh yeah and sensitive eyes. Bright lights and flashing lights bring on instant headaches, that will turn in to migraines if the source isn't stopped. No disco balls for me thanks! :P There are times when driving is hard because the light flashes through the trees and makes me crazy. My eye doctor told me that it is an actual condition and bright/flashing lights should try tp be avoided. I wear sunglasses all the time outdoors and (if I am not the driver) I even wear them at night because the glare from the headlights hurts. It also causes me to have some night blindness...

My husband just says I am a sensitive person. I guess so.

God bless,

Mariann

I am also very light sensitive also. I have to wear sunglasses all of the time until it gets completely dark out. The good thing about that is my electric bill is really low because I don't need to turn the lights on as often as others do.

Yep, I am sensitive to light too. I keep sunglasses with me most of the time.

You have sensitive eyes, ears, nose, and taste (because of Celiac)!

You have sensitive senses! :P

I can tell when the tv is on or not even with the tv black and no volume like a poster three posts ago (I think?). I hear the electric whatever or the sort of electric static that no one else in my family does.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.

I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
