reckon you can stay in there longer??

:laugh2: I bet you're right, there are some people here that could handle it for longer.
 
Whoa.
Hmm... how are the hallucinations any different to tinnitus or musical ear?
I think JonnyGhost has a point there!

Still wouldn't like to try it though...
 
That's really interesting. I wonder if it's the lack of sound (as in how hearing people are used to hearing sound, with their ears) or if it's the lack of vibrations, as processed by our whole bodies. I'd be really curious to see if a deaf person could kill that record. I think about this because I notice at deaf events how some purely deaf people seem to enjoy having the music turned up far enough that they can feel it, or how some gravitate toward activities like riding ATVs or motorcycles with the biggest (loudest) engine they can get. Do we need to feel these vibrations, even the smaller ones, through the course of a day? Even if we're unaware of alot of them? (I mean for hearing and deaf people. I'm sure I'm unaware of lots of the little things and would only notice if you took them away.) Or is this really strictly about sound as it relates to hearing?

when i first went deaf it was sudden and it terrified me but as years went on i was aware of something vibration and some sound is picked up in mastoid bone behind ears so if that was taken away i would assume it could be terrifying we would be more aware the blood circulation on eardrum tinintus so it could be worse for deaf person...i went into floatation tank once after went deaf and it was awful
 
That image from IFLS reminds me of something else they posted on FB- that by tuning a radio to play white noise, and putting the halves of a ping pong ball while laying down, the lack of sensory input triggers hallucinations.
