Not as bad as Exploding Head Syndrome
Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is a disorder characterized by the perception of loud noises (e.g. a bomb explosion, gunshot or cymbal crash) when going to sleep or awakening. Contrary to the name, ENS is not associated with pain. However the noise attacks can elicit a great deal of fear, confusion and distress in sufferers. Reports of tachycardia and palpitations are also common. Despite the distressing nature of EHS, relatively little is known about the prevalence and underlying cause of the condition.

I’ve heard it can be like Howitzer suddenly going off in your head.

“I’ve heard it can be like Howitzer suddenly going off in your head.”
You heard right.
I used to hear loud explosions that woke me up. I knew I wasn’t hearing them over the tinnitus ringing in my ears but they were definitely loud and would wake me up.
Wondering what in the wide, wide world of sports was going on I trotted myself to the doctor’s office. He explained about EHS and just added it to my list of less than lethal ailments.
