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.
Does anyone’s tinnitus actually sound like eeeeeeeee? Because my various layers (caused by three different things) don’t.
Mine is currently doing an eeeeeeeeeee sound, but it varies at different times
Yep. High pitched eeeeee right now. I feel inferior as to its cause, given military servicepeople above were mentioning what caused theirs. I just stupidly stood next to a very large speaker at a concert when I was much younger. You figure I’d have gotten used to it by my 50’s.
If it makes anyone feel better, I get Exploding Head Syndrome!
Mines more of an nngg sound but I could see sometime describing it as eeee. It’s a more or less solid constant tone but it’s more nasal for me, if that makes sense?
I wouldn’t say it’s a vowel. But it’s closer to E than anything else.
Agreed. It’s a raw pitch, with no articulation. For me it’s a very high pitch, kind of a digital hum like when you turn a computer monitor on in otherwise complete silence, just louder.
Not everyone will experience the same pitch either. It’s caused by the micro hairs in your inner ear dieing, which for some reason causes the pitch they were responsible for detecting to be stuck permanently on.
Closest thing to silencing tinnitus is distracting yourself from it with other, louder sound - I tend to have music or something on as often as possible, but that constant loudness is slowly killing more micro hairs and expanding the range of the tinnitus over time.
Old man me is gonna be deaf as fuck. 🤘
I got tinnitus for free. I have had that ringing sound nonstop since I was 4 or 5, and I’m now almost 70. You do get used to it. But you will experience hearing loss as you get older.
