I do hear things on the verge of waking that do no compute with what I see once fully awake. Sounds that, after a little thought, made no sense at all. The circular part is that I feel like it's the sound that woke up me up with which to begin.

Yeah, see - it wasn't that sharp buzzing sound that you sometimes hear. It was very clearly the doorbell which goes like -dun-DuN-DUN-DuN-DUN-Dun-dun-dun (very descriptive I know
)
I totally felt like the sound woke me up. When you get like that - and actually wake up - does the sound go away?? How quickly??

The other morning, I thought I could hear a delivery guy banging on our door and calling my name. I jumped out of bed, to answer it, and of course when I got there, no one was there.
I think it's pretty common.

I kind of laughed about the jumping out of the bed thing. Sorry. I've done that before though. I wouldn't have paid much mind to it if I hadn't still been hearing the sound
after I woke up; and I could tell that it was specifically being heard in my head through one ear.

I could tell it was not real (after I woke up) but the knowledge didn't change that fact that it was still ringing. What do you hear with the tinnitis?

It's an unsettling thing to happen. I felt a little less disturbed when I realized that the sounds weren't real, but still, if they hadn't stopped when I stopped the meds, I'd have been seeing a psychiatrist about them!
I think that it is possible for doorbells to get an electric short and to ring on their own, but the timing of what you're describing doesn't make that seem like that's what's going on.
I hope you get it figured out. *hugs*

Thanks! This sounds a lot like what I experienced except i'm not on narcs. I felt better when I realized the sound wasn't real - until I could still hear it lol. If it was the doorbell like shoring or something, it could have been like one of those sounds incorporated into my dream that was stuck in my head like maybe a song stuck or something?

i dont think it can be fixed just ignored or play music/white noise to drown it out

Oh wow! How long does an episode last? How'd you find out thats what it was? Does/did it freak you out?
