Need urgent help identifying mysterious device

I need help identifying a device if any that would cause sudden temporary blindness and a very loud thud/percieved rupture in one ear. I’ll explain. I admitted myself to a mental ward after experiencing drug induced psychosis. I was lying on the bed in a secluded area for the newly admitted (alone in the room) when a nurse came and started picking my brain.

Now I have a history there so they know about what kind of delusions I would normally experience so the nurse did what he did best. Fucked with my mind which was a normal procedure where I’m from for people who have out of the ordinary psychosis. They do this to evaluate the level of percieved delusions/hallucinations.

Anyways, to get to the point I was lying in bed with my mind having racing thoughts about what the nurse actually means or what he represents etc. Now what happened next is something I have never felt before or anything remotely similar. The very last thing the nurse said was something about ears and he struck something attached to the front of the hospital bed not sure what he did exactly. At this point I was lying down at an obtuse position when my right ear went through a very strange feeling almost like a very loud and extremely painful pop or like it burst and went back to normal again. This was in a time frame of around 5 seconds. Also during this timeframe a temporary blindness hit me simultaneous with the ear pop or slightly after. It was only for a few seconds but it the whole experience was quite terrifying.

Now I know most of you will say it was a hallucination let me state that even assuming I was hallucinating or having a pschitzophrenic episode or something along those lines there has been no one in history hallucinating such a feeling. Let me reiterate I have searched everywhere for similar sensory or physical hallucinations and have found no medical website or forum mentioning this. Nobody mentally ill has ever experienced this before.

For those of you who will say you experienced a stroke or a ministroke can you explain to me how is it that this happened exactly at the time he mentioned hearing/ears? This is very confusing and I hope someone will help me get my head around this. Secret device or just a fluke? The reason I didn’t mention the conversation is because ithe post will be way too long but let me just say they really wanted me to have this feeling for reasons not mentioned.

>nobody mentally ill has ever experienced this before
You can easily imagine sounds, even loud ones and any kind of feeling. Your episode was like that , don't start telling us that no one ever experienced this. Hysterical blindness exists and is a thing. Stay chill, take your pills and get it together, nothing is happening to you.

See children, drugs are bad
And if you don't believe me ask your dad
And if you don't believe him ask your mom
She'll tell you how she does them all the time

So kids say no to drugs
So you don't act like everyone else does
And there's really nothing else to say
Drugs are just bad, mmm'kay?

It was in their best interest for me to go through this. This was a very religious institute and the nurse was reading a bible verse. Last thing in that verse was something about people whose ears are blocked and won’t listen to faith then this happened. This was a conventional institute but all the staff were religious since I’m living in a religious area. They wanted me to become a believer and quit drugs since I was admitted many times. I’m sure of what he was reading. Now dabble with me a little and pretend you don’t think I’m hallucinating some/all of this. Is there a device which would cause this via radiofrequency or whatever the fuck there might be

Probably something like this exist, but I am sure an institution like that isn't able to own something like this, since if it exists it can be considered a weapon.

Also how about you ask your nurse what that thing he/she stuck there actually was? From what I understand you perceived this while he/she was testing your psychosis.

I have asked them/accused them multiple times of course they won’t admit to this. The last time I asked the doctor about it he said the only devices we own here are a heart rate monitor and other medical devices which seemed sketchy as fuck. Who replies like that to this accusation? They would like to keep it very secretive if they were the ones responsible. They get off to spreading faith lmao

The thing he struck was a fucking lever attached to the bed which has no other purpose than to bend when the bed is folded I don’t know why but he struck it.

Being crazy is no excuse for being retarded

Well me being crazy does not solve this mystery. This wasnt a feeling of thinking you have cancer because you imagine slight pain in the upper abdomen or kidneys which is very common in ‘crazy’ people. This was a full on onslaught by a witch feeling i’m talking about which never reoccured before or after this incident

The ear popping could be explained by pressure equalization within the inner ear and the outside pressure; you can actually buy devices for this on amazon

amazon.com/Summit-Medical-EarPopper-Home-Version/dp/B00449CW36

Yes an airplane earpopper caused this. Son that’s not powerful enough to scare a mouse much less cause this. I felt almost as though my eardrum completely burst and get back together in a matter of seconds. The only thing relevant I found was an article about a possible device used by cubans to deafen US diplomats?? I give up.

You're fucking insane, you are in no position to say what qualifies as something you could imagine and what doesn't.

If the bed was hard as a rock or if there was something underneath it, it could have been the sudden force of the bed being adjusted and you hit your head hard. Something that the hospital could be liable for

Contrary to what you know, I have sat down and talked with people much crazier than what you see in movies about mental wards. But let me tell you what you interpret as crazy might not be accurate enough or do the real crazy/psychotic people justice. I know the ins and outs of hallucinations and levels of psychosis. Yes I was psychotic at the time but this is not an occurrence caused by it.

Nothing happened at the time of the occurence other than him striking the lever. There was nothing visible to me that could have caused this. This is not to say that there was nothing hidden or under the bed as they had more than enough time to hide it. I waited about an hour before being admitted.

For any of you still wondering after much thinking I think it may have been a simple one and not a mysterious inspector gadget device... yes a flash/stun grenade as I did feel very disoriented while blinded/deaf. The thing he struck wasn’t very clear to me it seemed like the bed lever but mostly I heard a sharp noise coming from the front of the bed. This was probably to confuse me as he threw the stun grenade. Fuck yes I feel somewhat relieved. And yes, they would do this as this isn’t your everyday western institute they are very unorthodox

Its normal hallucinate sound even withlut drugs. I hallucinate sounds very often when I am about to get sleep. I hear sometimes big explotions, dog barking in my hear even people screaming. I know they are hallucinations and not dreams because I am still aware, but very relaxed. So I think its even more normal to have sound hallucinations with drugs. If you dont believe this is possible you could start meditating, because I have also hear them when doing that. I dont know about your blindness tho. Maybe it was a high-tech phosphene inducter (there is sound phosphenes too), but under that circumstances, I doubt it.

Could it be that as you get a grip on your halucinations, they change in a way that can convince you again

You think he detonated a restricted military explosive under your bed? Did you smell smoke? Was the floor damaged?

>crazy person thinks people used some secret device to uselessly cause temporary blindness
Yeah I'm sure your experiences had nothing to do with your drug induced hallucinations.

No I did not smell smoke or maybe I did and could not remember as it was a very long time ago and i couldnt see the floor as any newly admitted patient is restrained to the bed for 1-2 days (just one restraint to the leg or hands)

Read all the posts before commenting please

You’re certifiable mate. Get help. You are suffering from schizophrenia, psychosis or some kind of delusion.

I know, because I’ve seen it. Please get help.

He stuck a clipboard to the edge of your bed idiot
All hospitals do it

Ummm no this hospital does not do that... i’ve been here a few times buddy

As for you can you tell me how i’m mental right now exactly. Episode passed a long time ago and I’m of sound mind as of right now unless I get wired again

Why would religious people want to cause you perm damage to your ear drum?
That goes against their teachings...

Ringing of the ears and bright lights are also the signs of early onset mental disorders.
You are a paranoid schizo.

Yes technology that can do that exist. In fact many types of them do. One of them is drugs. Congratulations you damaged your brain.

t. person who did the same thing to himself and is now okay

You have Tinnitus OP.

persistent tinnitus may cause anxiety and depression.[14][15] Tinnitus annoyance is more strongly associated with psychological condition than loudness or frequency range.[16][17] Psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances and concentration difficulties are common in those with strongly annoying tinnitus.[18][19] 45% of people with tinnitus have an anxiety disorder at some time in their life.[20]

Psychological research has looked at the tinnitus distress reaction (TDR) to account for differences in tinnitus severity.[18][21][22][23] These findings suggest that at the initial perception of tinnitus, conditioning links tinnitus with negative emotions, such as fear and anxiety from unpleasant stimuli at the time. This enhances activity in the limbic system and autonomic nervous system, thus increasing tinnitus awareness and annoyance.[24]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_ringing#Psychological

Do you have any idea how mental illness works? A lot of it doesn’t ever go away. You need professional assessment and help. You strongly believe someone assaulted you with a deafening and blinding weapon that, if it actually existed would use currently unknown technology since it doesn’t seem to have left any permanent damage (or you would be making a police report).
You either had a stroke, some kind of seizure, migraine, or you imagined the entire thing. See a doctor, explain EXACTLY what you experienced (not what you think), and say you are worried about your mental health state.

My guess is you fucked your brain up on amphetamines (I did too once and had some insane delusions) or you are coming off real nigga antidepressants and getting brain zaps.
Either way get off the board and see a mental health professional

Its not a group of ‘religious’ people out to get me. They simply want me to convert so that I stop my drug use as The doctors know my family very well and know the damage I’m causing to them. Happy to say that I havent used for a long time

You were hallucinating m8 no such device

>can you tell me how i’m mental right now exactly

You still believe your hallucinations are real. Ur fucked big time m8. Hope you get better soon.

t. schizo

I have a very good understanding of mental illness and am a rational guy I’m not a smacked up arrogant skid who will say yes to any chance of getting high. Read whole thread last thing i said was it was some kind of stun grenade. Newer ones are much safer (as a result of perfecting the technology not so it will be safe against enemies) and would very rarely cause permanent damage. Look at how few there are reports of perm damage from stun grenades they are quite harmless

That would be illegal user and how would they afford or approve the money for such equiptment on a gov/tax under funded clinic?

For example a doctor can't just write off a x-ray machine unless they have radeologists on site.
That's a waste of money.
A radio device like you mentioned has no medical application and therefore would be illegal to pay for with funds.
(everything bought has to be accounted for in the tax books)

Hospitals and Clinics have to be very careful to account for all purchases or they will get in trouble for tax fraud with the IRS.

Also if they are as religous as you say why would they cause you harm or try and trick you?
Faith doesn't work that way.
That would mean they don't believe it themselves user.

>tinnitus triggered by anxiety depression mental illness etc
I have experienced much worse much more terrifying psychosis and this never happened. What a coincidence this happened in the mental ward and at the exact same time he mentioned ears. Never happened in worse episodes or at any other time. Also, tinnitus does not cover blindness

>um hello gubmint
>dis the mental institute
>can u approve of stub gernabes pleebz
>thanks 4 military equibment dat hab no medical uses
>dis goinb to gob ober well

You're developing a mental illness, user. Seek PROPER professional help immediately.

Of course, you know, you can always go to

Illegal indeed but not in a country where such trivial matters that break the law are enforced... plus how would I know about it right? How would I even prove it to the police I’m percieved as a crazy person if i tell them that story. They have no understanding of mental illness and will just treat it like a hallucination. The only rational medical condition that I would consider was mentioned by the first guy. Hysterical blindness. Even that would not cover it as it would be very very rare to experience both deafness and blindness

you should make an operating system

you have been subjected to an MKULTRA experiment my friend. RIP.

>I have a very good understanding of mental illness and am a rational guy

>I intentionally introduced mind altering chemicals in to my blood stream and my brain malfunctioned. Now I'm convinced the strange sensations I experienced are the result of Christians who devoted their life to healing the sick being out to get me not the symptoms of the altered mental status precipitated by me deliberately poisoning myself.

>rational guy

Your brain is fucked. Get help please.

Found your device, OP

Gimme their address

Don't listen to everyone else here user. My brother was diagnosed as schizophrenic but t was a false diagnosis. The doctor was just trying to control him. Don't listen to anyone. They are all trying to manipulate you. Definitely don't take the mind control pills either. Godspeed user

I omitted a crucial piece of information that might make half of you believe this but as I value my privacy I have not mentioned it. Not something I have paranoididly worked up but something very well known here. Kudos to anyone that finds this out.

Nice user :) the whole world thinks i’m schitzo but I’m not. The pills are evil. I will never take them. I am being watched by the cia kgb and every other spy organisation out there. Is that the reply you want?

I see you don’t have any family or friends that have suffered through this kind of thing. Pretty heartless to egg on a sick individual

Seek help

underrated

they did not stun grenade you. hospitals do not keep stun grenades. you had a psychotic episode and that was a hallucination

I've seen threads like this several times before in my time here, and they always end the same way: every user in the thread telling the OP he sounds crazy, and the OP rejecting every post because he doesn't actually want to change his mind.

You have your answer. A device like this could exist, it sounds similar to a stun grenade which you have already mentioned
>The flash produced momentarily activates all photoreceptor cells in the eye, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds, until the eye restores itself to its normal, unstimulated state. An afterimage will also be visible for a considerable time, impairing the victim's ability to aim with precision. The loud blast is intended to cause temporary loss of hearing, and also disturbs the fluid in the ear, causing loss of balance.
but how or why a non-government organization would have or use these things is beyond comprehension. Isn't it far more likely that the symptoms you experienced were a result of your mental illness? Websites literally say
>Hallucinations are as real as any other experience to the person with schizophrenia.

OP, have you considered you may have a brain tumor or some other neurological problem?
This doesn't sound like schizophrenia, but I have heard stories of people hearing loud bangs that aren't there due to intracranial pressure causing their skull bones to move around.

I also remember a story I saw on TV a long time ago of a man who heard a bang and lost hearing, and it turned out his brain matter had infiltrated his ear canal. Don't go to the hospital, find a neurological specialist and describe what's happening. You aren't crazy, but this might actually be worse than being crazy.

Op here it was a nice attempt at trolling though not very well executed. Plz dont be butthurt this is Sup Forums

As a paranoid schizophrenia person, your experience could totally just be symptoms user. Sorry.

Being on Sup Forums isn’t an all access pass to be a piece of shit. Can you fuck off back to Sup Forums with the rest of the dick raters and trap posters?

Again this happened at the exact time he mentioned ‘ears’. If you believe this was a coincidence or a brain tumor for that matter considering what he was saying and when he said it then you must be mistaken. Happened around a year ago I suffered from no symptoms thereafter

I know exactly what you mean but please understand that I am not trying to convince you that someone is out to get me I have rationalized why they did this as my familly know the doctors very well and they have a close relationship with them (unlike any other patient’s family). I don’t blame you or any others in this post for thinking ‘oh this is just another schitzo freaking out’. Plus the occurance was very out of the ordinary and not concealed within the borders of mental illness. Deafness and blindness at the same time?

Not seeing any other unusual shit for a year does not invalidate anything we are trying to tell you. Being free of symptoms does NOT mean you couldn’t be sick. You are making non-arguments and trying to tell us that you are 100% certain that this happened and refusing to acknowledge they might have been a hallucination. You need to talk to a professional, not us. What you experienced felt real, I get it. But certain types of hallucinations are indistinguishable from reality. I don’t even know you but I really honestly do hope you get help before your life is completely turned into a living nightmare you might not be able to escape from.

Ok I’ll bite. Convince me what have you experienced

Hallucinations can encompass every sense you possess.

Hi Terry!

Son this happened a year ago and I have been fine ever since i got out of that episode. My life couldn’t be better. Theres a shitload of schitzo forums on the web find me anything remotely similar

>Being on Sup Forums isn’t an all access pass to be a piece of shit.
It kind of is though. The OP was fine with it, so maybe you're the one who needs to fuck off?

I'm no doctor, but I think the borders of mental illness aren't super well understood. But anyway, you came on here to ask about the technology right? Because at this point we're all going round in circles.

Why don't you put it behind you then? You mentioned that you're aware no one's out to get you, at worst it's just a religious cult trying to convert you in really questionably effective ways.

>mental illness not well understood
You couldn’t have said anything more true. Mental illness/the mind is truly a mystery. That is not to say that what happened to me no other mentally ill person has ever felt before but I have literally found nothing on the internet close to what happened to me. Sounds strange right. Talked to schitzo’s in the ward about it and they seemed shocked. They all know eachother’s experiences etc

>why don’t you put it behind you
I have but never thought of asking a forum before so i just did. This will remain a mystery for the ages but I don’t care enough to fret about it. Maybe just a little :)

>shocked
schizophrenics? shocked? really?

Well user, I'm glad you're at least mostly rational about it. Good luck in the future, I wish you the best man. Don't relapse on those drugs
heh

Believe it or not schitzo’s sometimes have normal emotions ... when they take their pills. Not the kind that continuously gaze into the wall without ever saying anything (makes you wonder what that kind of person feels or thinks, saw a few in the ward) but your everyday schitzo's dare I say normal schitzo’s :p

I'm pretty sure it was a joke about shock therapy.

Lmao didn’t quite catch on. Shockingly, that is still used here

a joke and a moment of learning lads

Are you the same user who made a couple other threads about strange devices being used on you and what not? I like you user, you may be a little crazy but your threads are more fun than a lot of the crap on Sup Forums. Hope you get the help you need.

Sorry to disappoint but that wasn’t me. Link thread if still there

thats the button to destroy androids 17 and 18

This thread is spooky. Literal mental illness is spooky. Someone report this shit to the authorities so we can prevent a mass murderer from listening to the voices.

Well sorry to spook you user. I suggest you watch the documentary of the japanese cannibal for relief

That it happened, when he talked about ears, makes a hallucination more probable in my opinion. You were in a mentally extreme state and these phrases may triggered something in your psyche. You sound relatively reasonable, though. Good to hear you stopped doing drugs, they're bad, mmkay. The other anons mentioned brain tumors or other shit. I don't think that's the explanation. If you're psychosis would be induced by a tumor, it would get worse over time and the symptoms you experienced would reoccur. When you're medical insurance is good you could try to get an MRI to be sure that there is no tumor in there.

Consider if you're just seeing a correlation. We're all pattern seeking. Did he poke you with other instruments regularly?
Are you positive he stuck something in you even?
Because even a perfectly sane person might become suspicious of their doctor if they have sudden blindness and auditory hallucinations in correlation with them not being sure what the doctor is doing. As you said. It's quite shocking.

I don't know of any devices that could impact you so precisely, but for that you should probably ask /sci/ rather than Sup Forums. We're not the most serious crowd (neither is /sci/ but they could at least give you a more confident 'no'). It seems much more likely to be you associating the nurses actions with what you experienced despite it being mostly internal.

>that it happened while he was talking about ears makes it more probable
Also makes my explanation viable/probable see it can go both ways. Anyways respect your opinion while it is overstated here though I strongly disagree

The thing about schitzophrenia/psychosis is you’re quick to connect dots and see patterns or have the “EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW” reaction i have experienced the feeling everything is connected feeling. Now I have got rid of the psychosis long ago glad to say so this is not one of those fits. You are right in saying we all seek a pattern to believe something that may not be completely true at an attempt to comfort oneself or simply out of fear. This time I can say for sure something was triggered by the staff which caused this to happen.

Most countries still use it, since it's pretty effective.

Exploding Head Syndrome?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome
>Individuals with exploding head syndrome hear or experience loud imagined noises as they are falling asleep or waking up
>around 10% of people also experience visual disturbances like perceiving visual static, lightning, or flashes of light.

Well I've experienced that one multiple times, usually very loud bang and an electric shock kinda thing over the body.
Mainly when I'm very tired and dosing off.

Holy shit you're fucking psychotic
But to answer your question, a very powerful transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to one side of the head would cause a popping sound and temporary blindness since it could affect the occipital and temporal lobes lobes at the same time. Unlikely but maybe they had one laying around and decided to mess with you. Generally looks like a loop but not necessarily.
Or maybe you just had a focal seizure.

Read the whole thing
>cause not known
>when individual is drowsy/descending into sleep
Was freshly toked at time of admission. All i can say is if sleep was a person he would have cried at the sight of me at the time

>implying this place isn't more infected with transexuals than Sup Forums

>one side of the head
Very nice user strangely this is the first time I hear of this device. Also, i mentioned that it was one ear so this might be very probable. But how would they hide such a large device when I couldn’t see it? Is there one small enough to hide underneath the bedsheets and does it have to be accurately pointed on the brain?

no, it has to be at least a few cm away from the skull and it's pretty bulky

Have you ever consider that it might actually be God?

I have considered that among many other things. Only thing I can say is why did god decide to do this in one ear only? to add a level of ambiguity to test one’s faith? Why would god only act out these miracles in the mental ward. I sense a huge upcoming discussion about god but please no. Stick to the subject. Won’t buy it for many reasons

Because your insane and probably high again. Go back to /x/.

What do you expect from this thread? With these TSP devices it may be possible to create the symptoms you experienced, but as you already stated, the doctors there don't have a reason to mess with you. So you know have a rather obscure theory for the reason of your symptoms in which the people that wanted to help you ,betrayed you instead. That's kind of the definition of Paranoia

I was rather interest and just speculating about TMS devices. Wasn’t debunking by any means.

>betrayed
Very strong word here buddy do I have to submit to the answer that gets repeated 30 times in this thread? I get most of them are trying to help me but please answer according to the subject repeating it one more time will not convince me. This isn’t /x/ so please don’t post if you’re going to tell me I need help. Medical conditions not previously mentioned are welcome though. Explosive head one was good but didn’t apply.

>Doctors did not want to mess with/hurt you
You are correct they wanted to help me by making me religious by choice aka causing a miracle occurence. That is their way of helping me. I would think that was their last resort

>I was lying down at an obtuse position

Didn’t know how else to explain it I guess I was sitting up with my back rested on the bed. ‘Sitting at an obtuse position’ sounds good and should be a phrase in english.
Trolls welcome to post but no you need help posts plz

>but no you need help posts plz

Plz stopped I a hurt very much

Update your brain's graphics driver.

lol
op just accept this was a one off random neural event
there's no device that could cause this shit from a distance while being inconspicuous and accessible to health care personnel
