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.

      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.
