hearing it again

So I'm here at the computer and I hear a clock alarm coming from outside the office. It's loud. I step outside to find it to turn it off. It vanishes. I go back to the office and sit down, there it is again! Obviously, I'm hallucinating, and there's nothing I can do about it right now. And yes I know why. I just have to wait it out. My Pdoc will be back in the office on Tuesday. And I just have to be aggravated. But damn I just want to go to sleep. But I guess last night was worse. Last night I heard "In Love With You're Ghost" by Indigo Girls all night long through the walls and we don't have any neighbors. Don't get me wrong it's a good song but the same part over and over again? Good grief!

we keep all tech except the clocks out of the bedroom. My hubby needs it that way so he can sleep.

If I were you, I'd try some sort of little ear buds or something so that you could 'play' something over the internal noise.

I've had the 'music playing over and over again' in my head and listening to something real DOES get rid of it as an annoyance, for me.

I've never hallucinated a ticking clock, but the real thing drives me absolutely mad!!
I would definitely try to block that out by playing something else!!!

I know lots of people on here have mentioned specific meds that helped stop their auditory hallucinations!!

I hope you find some way to stop yours!!
Good luck!!

Running a fan helps me with that sort of thing. Silence makes me crazier than hell so I need some sort of white noise. When I sleep I cant deal with music or TV (strangely, also drives me nuts) but the fan is lovely & soothing & cool & it is just wonderful. You can get them at Walmart or any place like that for around $10 and up. They are well worth it in my opinion. Hope this helps.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
