I have been having some sort of neurological brain issue for about a year. I hear a noise in my right ear only (sounds like electrical noise that starts with a few pulses then increases in duration over a period of about 10-15 seconds when it abruptly ceases) that occurs evry couple of minutes. During the last 5 seconds or so of each episode the noise affects my eyes whereas they seem to jitter ever so slightly. This is very distarcting while I am working at my computer terminal. My neurologist has done a MRI and an ECG but neither has shown any abnormalities. He suspects some sort of seizure is causing this. He has started me on Lamictal. Do you agree with this diagnosis, and if a seizure, is it common that it occurs so frequently. Also, do you think this medicine or some other if this one does not work will make this more manageable? Thank you in advance.

What Would Cause Noise In The Ears?
Hello, I would explain that if Lamictal leads to improvement of your symptoms, this would be indicative that your symptoms are related to seizures. You should know that there are many types of seizures, including those with hearing voices or noises, without loss of conscience. Anyway, the presence of abnormal MRI or abnormal EEG should be correlated with clinical findings. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
