  • Just curious, but does this happen ANYWHERE that it’s totally quiet?

    I know that some people can just hear higher frequencies than others, and that things like electronics sometimes produce high pitched sounds.

    Maybe you’re hearing some kind of high frequency sound coming from your neighbor’s place or something? Just an idea.

    I know someone who has tinnitus too. He’s also partially deaf and it’s like his hearing aids give him this weird ability to pick up high frequency sounds that nobody else can hear. We used to work together and he’d be able to find broken equipment just by following his ears. Your post just reminded me of that lol

    • I do hear it anywhere quiet enough, but it's so quiet that it really doesn't affect my hearing, and is just annoying.

      I'm assuming that what I hear is just some system in my body like blood flowing through my brains
