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.
My tinnitus can negotiate a V.92 handshake.
were it not so sad… that’d be impressive…
