I went through it when I was coming off the medication.
Im sorry i cannot answer your question but you misunderstood my post because i have actually never had this when coming off of the medicine only while i was in active addiction and as bad as this sounds i would close my eyes cause thats the only time i heard it is when my eyes were closed for anymore than a couple seconds and once i would start hearing that sound that was when i knew i had taken enough(which was way way way to much oxy) and that i was gonna feel the high i wanted so sorry i cannot say when it will subside because like i said as soon as i quit using the noise went away and it was only when i closed my eyes that i would hear it to but hopefully someone elsewill be able to answer this and there was actually another post about this a couple days and there were a few post about what helps it so you might can look at the older post and the name of the post i believe is just "EARS" or something close to that
Good Luck and Godspeed

man ; glad to know it's not "all in my head". : ) Been keeping a journal on my thoughts, symptoms everyday since I started the taper 10 days ago and it does seem to get worse the first 2-3 days after I make a cut in the medicine ; as do the leg cramps etc. Just feels like that wwooommmmwwwooommmmmwwoooommmm like a pressure and throbbing pulse in your head/headache. Hard to explain it but you folks seem to know what I'm talking about, thank God. I don't hear it mentioned often so it's nice to know others are experiencing or have experienced it. I'm going to down more Gatorade/water to see if it has to do with dehydration at all. I find too ; when I taper ; by the end of the week when I'm feeling slightly adjusted I slack off on the liquid intake ; and keep up with all the vitamins. BTW did you go cold turkey or taper? And when you mentioned it took you a while; how long did it last til it finally subsided?
It's definitely normal. A little bit of anxiety mixed in with relief is what my [new and improved] PCP told me when I asked her about it when I went through my stages.
yeah i actually mentioned that in a post just the other day and now that im clean as weird as it sounds when i first got clean it took me a while to get used to going to sleep without that noise i guess it was kinda like some ppl fall asleep with a fan beside them cause of the sound but it was that wwooooommmmmwwwooooooommmm that i got used to being there all the time i guess

Yep, I had that. Don't know the cause but it went away!
