Closest I’ve seen to this being done was the movie Black Hawk Down. Meanwhile can you imagine everyone screaming at each other in the John Wick films? Other movies like Aliens would have been a whole different level of horrifying as the sound fades away until its just the sound of the actor’s muffled heart beat and their cluelessness that the xenomorph is crawling up behind them.
Baby Driver uses it as a plot point, and in the cinema the simulated tinnitus was borderline painful at the start.
I have very mild tinnitus (too much time working nightclubs), anyone with it badly has my sympathy :-(
They use it in Children of Men too if I recall correctly. I need to rewatch that movie, it’s been decades.
There’s a moment in Fury Road, but it fades very quickly … that’s one of the very few niggles I have with that movie
ooh fuck. I do my best to try not to think about it but it’s like a good friend, always there.
