Tinnitus

[Mike_Jones]

I don't "suffer" from tinnitus but I have it.

When I watched these two videos , the first one I realized that none of the "types" of sound matches my own. BUT, when it it plays the sample of "tonal" I can't hear anything. Zero. I asked my daughter and she said there was definitely a sound.

Then I listened to the second video and when it got to 4000hz it matched the ringing in my ears and then disappeared. Like Surfdoc I have no high end hearing.

As I understand, hearing aids don't even try to correct tones above 4,000 Hz. We don't listen to high frequencies anyway. We perceive high frequencies as modifiers of lower frequencies. And mostly, that's all they are.

Most people don't notice their hearing loss until they can't hear people talking, and talking frequencies are below 4,000 Hz.

Growing evidence links COVID-19, hearing loss, researchers say

-------------------------------------
Researchers say there is mounting evidence suggesting that hearing loss and other auditory issues are strongly associated with COVID-19 infection, according to a systematic review.

At least one clinical study is ongoing, but using data from 24 concluded studies that mostly relied on self-reported questionnaires or medical records, researchers from the University of Manchester and NIHR Manchester Biomedical Researcher Center found that up to 7.6% of COVID-19 patients suffered from hearing loss, 14.8% complained of tinnitus and 7.2% reported vertigo.

In their review, published in the International Journal of Audiology, researchers said the data calls for more focused studies comparing COVID-19 cases with controls, "such as patients admitted to hospital with other health conditions.".....

What about the vaccines? They make the same spike proteins.

Mine predates Covid and is due to radiation for a brain tumor.
