I have found my ears when put in a completely dead and silent room start to get "tense" and ring a little bit around 4000Hz, but equally in both ears, so I'm sure it isn't a damage thing. The noise is only at about what sound like 10-15db. I'm literally hearing the noise floor of my own hearing! I know what you are thinking. That a sound has to be about 25db before an adult can hear it and 15db for an adult. I've had my hearing tested and it registers at ZERO db for all but the centre frequencies. The breakdown was like this

Left:
500Hz - 10db
1000Hz - 15db
2000Hz - 10db
4000Hz - 5db

Right:
500hz - 0db
1000hz - 5db
2000hz - 0db
4000hz - 0db


I can hear the extremely subtle air pressure changes, I guess. I don't how the hell I can hear at slightly above 0db signal.
