nrmally tinnitus is a constant sine wave right? I’m lucky that mine is only audible at a noise floor of “super quiet” (my dB meter crapped out on me a while back and I’ve not had the money to replace it sadly)
Good news is that if dial-up tinnitus is real, my other comment was only plausible by lucky coincidence. Got a little of the standard variety like what you’re talking about (just enough to make me care about good PPE moving forward) and thought it’d be an interesting consequence of tech exposure for old geeks.
can confirm that it’s a constant sine wave, at least for me.
i blew myself up by accident a month ago, and while my left ear has fully recovered my right one wasn’t so lucky. lost all hearing above like 10kHz (which isnt really noticeable, especially with my left ear still being good on frequencies), and i also now have some very minor tinnitus there. ironically if i had to guesstimate the frequency of my tinnitus it would be around 12 kHz, which is past my hearing range, though it can change briefly because of external stimuli.
Since this was true when I was in primary school, it’ll always be seared into my brain. I mean, I realized this when I was learning to count and spell, of course it’s saved as one of the most basic facts of life. Like, 4+4=8, 90s are 10 years ago 70s are 30 years ago etc was stuff learned at the same time, so it’s like it’s saved in a similar way.
Hey now, 1995 will always be 10 years ago. Always.
Funny how time works.
I can still hear the dialup tone in my brainnnnnnn
My tinnitus can negotiate a V.92 handshake.
were it not so sad… that’d be impressive…

I finally was able to readjust my brain into believing 1995 was longer than 10 years ago. I’m now convinced it was 20 years ago.
This is borderline acceptable.
I first played Doom in 1995. And SimCity 2000. It indeed feels like 10 years ago.
I was born in 96. I’ll be turning 30 next year

Damn, I’ve got the heaviest drinking pattern of any 10 year old you ever seen then.
