It’s almost that time of the year, time for school to start, so we decided to create some cool new variants of the Mosquito Ringtone. After doing some extensive testing on my family members, we’ve come up with a few twisted variants of the Mosquito Ringtone. All these tones are based on 16.75khz and should be mostly inaudible to those over 24 years of age (there are always exceptions though).

 

If you want to try something different this school year, keep these twisted ringtones in mind! and as always, all of our ringtones are free to download!

 

Twisted Mosquito Variants

Old, no longer used cell phones consume an enormous amount of waste each year. It is estimated that tens of thousands of tons of waste each year can be attributed to un-recycled cellular phones! There are numerous toxins in each discarded cell phone that ends up in landfills and eventually into the ground and sometimes into the worlds drinking water.

 

If you are planning on getting a new phone (like the new iPhone or Palm) or perhaps you have already upgraded your phone and you have an old phone laying around; you can recycle that old phone and get paid cash for doing so! For some cell phone models, you can still get good recycling rates!

Recycle Your Cell Phone Now

You get to keep your shiny new cell phone toy and help the environment by recycling your old one and make good money all at the same time. For example, with new iPhones coming out soon you can recycle your old iPhone 3G and get paid either $158 or $175 depending on whether you have the 8GB version of the 16GB version. If you planned on upgrading to the new iPhone and think it’s too expensive for a little upgraded camera with video and the other features, this pay for recycling system will help with your costs.

Recycle your old cell phone for cash!

At the time of this article, the going rates for recycling popular cell phones are:

 

iPhone: $98-320
BlackBerry: up to $240
Palm: up to $175

 

The smartphones/PDAs are the phones worth the most money to recyclers, but even older flip phones still have value! It’s best to check the website to see how much your old phone is actually worth.

Recycle Cell Phones

Free Mosquito Ringtones supports cell phone recycling! Please recycle your old cell phone for money and help the environment!

 

Ringing Ears

For many people, ringing ears or tinnitus is a constant problem and annoyance. Tinnitus is different than an actual audible tone. It rings from within the ear itself. The difference between tinnitus and for example, the mosquito ringtone, is hard to explain in words. When experiencing tinnitus, it almost sounds and feels like it’s coming from inside your head itself. There are varying degress of severity that can only be measured in words. Since only the person experiencing tinnitus can “hear” the ringing, no external tool or test can measure or detect it. Ear doctors will ask the patient to rate it on a scale from slight to catastrophic. Tinnitus usually goes hand in hand with hearing loss, at least to some degree and is actually a symptom of any number of disorders rather than a condition itself.

 

Hearing the mosquito ringtone is not the same thing as having ringing ears!

 

Tinnitus Treatment

Ringing ears and tinnitus are the same thing, but tinnitus is usually used in more severe cases. In addition to dozens of medical disorders it can also be caused by a few common and easily remedied conditions. Check out ringing ears treatment for common ways to remedy the problem. If you are experiencing ringing ears it may not be a permanent annoyance, but one that can be cured by following the advice of an expert. Rather than treating tinnitus itself, tinnitus treatments work by treating the underlying disorder that is causing your tinnitus to occur.

There are many different reasons for hearing loss and several different clinical types, but it basically means full or partial loss of the ability to detect or understand sounds. Hearing loss can affect anyone, it doesn’t only affect older people. Even children can lose their hearing.

Symptoms of Hearing Loss

Many people don’t even realize that they are losing their hearing (usually hearing loss is a ongoing thing that gets progressively worse) until they notice one of the following typical symptoms of hearing loss:

 

* you have difficulty in understanding what people are saying.

* you listen to TV or audio at higher volume as before.

* you have pain in your ear or the area around your ear.

* you have a family history of hearing loss.

* you have been exposed to very high levels of noise.

* you have difficulty hearing the phone ring.

Types of Hearing Loss

There are several different types of hearing loss depending on the underlying cause of the hearing loss. The common types of hearing loss include:

Conductive Hearing Loss

Conductive hearing loss involves some sort of obstruction or blockage in the outer or middle ear. It can usually be treated successfully by medical or simple surgical procedures. A great example of this is imagining a large glob of ear wax clogging your ear. You will have some hearing loss as a result of the wax blocking or partially blocking the sound waves from reaching the inner parts of your ear.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Sensory hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss. It involves either the inner ear, the auditory nerve called the Vestibulocochlear nerve or the brain itself. Sensory hearing loss it is most commonly treated by the use of a hearing air instrument to amplify sounds so that they can be heard by the wearer.

Mixed Hearing Loss

Mixed hearing loss is the the result of both conductive and sensorineural components.

Causes of Hearing Loss

In addition to the types of hearing loss described above there are many underlying reasons that hearing loss could occur.

Disease & Illnesses Causing Hearing Loss

There are many diseases and illnesses that can cause loss of hearing in people, however, with a few exceptions it seems hearing loss is rare effect. Common diseases that can cause hearing loss include: Measles, Meningitis, HIV/Aids, Mumps, Otosclerosis, Autoimmune Disease and many other common conditions and diseases. As with all hearing loss, someone experiencing it should be properly checked by a trained and licensed medical doctor.

Genetic Hearing Loss

Genetic conditions and mutations can also be the root cause of hearing loss. Common birth defects like irregular ear hair follicles can really play a number on someone’s hearing. Many times the condition will not manifest until the adult years.

Presbycusis

Presbycusis is a common medical condition that will affect most people once they start reaching their mid-20’s. The exact cause is unknown although it usually progresses slowly and can be managed at severe levels with the use of a hearing aid. Presbycusis can be easily determined by the ability or lack of ability to hear certain frequency tones. Try the free hearing test to determine which tones you can hear.

Noice Induced Hearing Loss

We experience sounds in our environment all the time. We hear noises and sounds from television and radio, household appliances, and traffic. We normally hear these sounds at safe levels that don’t affect our hearing. However, when we become exposed to harmful sounds that are either way too loud or loud sounds for an extended period of time, sensitive structures in our inner ear can become permanently damaged. This damage can cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). These structures, called hair cells, are small sensory cells that convert sound energy into electrical signals that travel to the brain that translates the signals into the sounds we recognize. Once these hair cells are damaged they cannot grow back.

Looking to change that ringtone your BlackBerry? The good news is that PDA technology has expanded exponentially over the past few years making it easier than ever to put your own ringtones on your BlackBerry device. In the span of just over a year, Research in Motion released the BlackBerry 8700, the BlackBerry Pearl, the BlackBerry 8800, and the BlackBerry Storm all of which offered upgrades or alternatives to the previous models. In what seems a distant past, BlackBerries were used for just e-mail, now you can now surf the web, send instant messages, play your favorite songs, and games all with the one device. In fact, the latest TV commercial advertisements for the BlackBerry Storm proclaim that the device is more than just for business.

 

And, of course, you can change your ringtone to be one that you want to hear when the calls are coming in. When you’re one of the millions of BlackBerry users, your ringtone may be the only thing that separates you from the crowd. Luckily, there are an almost infinite number of Internet sites that can help you put the perfect ringtone for your personality on your BlackBerry device.

 

A recent Google search for BlackBerry ringtones yielded over a million results, most of them confusing. There are thousands of websites that proclaim free ringtones, and most of them just don’t provide what you’re looking for, ringtones for your BlackBerry.

 

Instead of wasting time, sifting through all those websites that proclaim to have BlackBerry ringtones, we’ve compiled a few lists that should be able to make your hunt for that perfect ringtone easier. First there’s the free ringtones, unlimited ringtones (subscription services and pay per use), and ringtone software that will allow you to make your own ringtones from just about any audio file.

 

Free BlackBerry Ringtones

• The official BlackBerry site has an area where you can browse ringtones, it must be accessed from your BlackBerry device. Some cost money, but there is a free section that provides a bunch of free ones. They may not be the greatest ringtones, but at least you know no one’s going to slap you with a lawsuit for using them and they are free!
• One recently popular site for BlackBerry ringtones has been Tuneusin.com. There, you will find a large library of free ringtones that you can save and use on your BlackBerry. In addition, it offers a program that allows you to make ringtones from your own music files. However, this program isn’t free; it costs $14.99, which is similar to the costs involved with similar ringtone creation programs.
• CyZeal is a popular program that allows you to access free content one a peer to peer network for a variety of mobile devices. It’s similar to download clients like Kazaa and Limewire, but it is dedicated solely to mobile ringtones, mobile games, graphics and more. It may not be the best service out there, but again, it’s free, and certainly worth checking into to see if you can find something you like.
• Crackberry also has a good variety of free ringtones. Many of these cannot be found elsewhere, which is nice because CrackBerry lacks the mainstream selections than some other BlackBerry ringtone sites offer. They provide what many have called the best “phone ringing” ringtone ever heard (it’s like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon). The only downside is that the ringtones aren’t labeled very well and lack decent descriptions, making it a bit tougher to find exactly what you’re looking for.
• Let’s not forget you can also get our very own Mosquito Ringtones FREE for your BlackBerry, just visit our ringtone download page for all the details and follow the instructions.

 

Ringtone Pay Sites

if you want an amazingly large selection of BlackBerry ringtones, you’ll probably have to use a subscription service. The good news is that unlike ringtone sites for most mobile phones where you have to pay-per-tone, BlackBerry ringtones are available in an unlimited format. Just pay an up-front fee, and have access to more ringtones that your phone will know what to do with.

 

Here are just a few of your choices for subscription based ringtone providers:

 

• Jamster is a great resource for Ringtones for your BlackBerry. For only $9.99 a month you get access to the ringtones from thousands of artists. The tones are the real songs and not just midi type files. If your BlackBerry has video capabilities, you can also get video tones from Jamster!
• BlackBerry Ring Tone Megaplex is considered to be a top site in this category. It offers a selection of over 1,000 different ringtones. They are updated frequently, and a subscription of only $19.95 lasts for a whole year.
• Funtonia is a large ringtone site that has over 450,000 ringtones in their library. They charge $23.88 for a year of access. However, they have a plan for people who don’t want the whole year: $17.97 for three months of access.

Create Your Own Ringtones

One of the greatest advancements in ringtone technology has been the ability for users to make their own ringtones from any music library with the aid of websites or ringtone creator software. While most of these services and programs are fee-based, it could be worth it for people who like to change their ringtones regularly.
