Lol. I had a bout of what I would call tennitus this week after my neighbor borrowed $20 bucks from me. I wear ear pods frequent while I work. They came to my door and asked to borrow some money. I was on hold with a vendor, so I ran to my wallet, gave them the money and pointed at my ear, saying I was on the phone. I closed the door and turned back to my office—then BAM. A high pitch whine in my ear. I pulled the pod out, and sure nuf, it was in my head. I just decided to ignore it, and it ‘went away’. Only reason I even gave it any thought was because a colleague of mine was said to have it, Mr. Rick Tharp. What a talent. He committed suicide twenty years ago. Supposedly because of his tennitus. In my experience with it, it goes away. Because of my heartbreak over loosing my friend, I wonder if tennitus is code for depression.

Have you had a COVID vaccine? After getting ours, my girlfriend and I both noticed (although we didn't mention it to each other at the time) occasional sudden random hearing suppression in one ear, accompanied by a high-pitched tone. This would immediately start fading away and be gone in a minute or two. After a second booster, I suddenly lost hearing in one ear and now suffer massive ringing. It turns out that this is a "known" thing that people just aren't talking (or warning) about until it's too late. It's a hideous destruction of people's lives.

  Do note that Covid itself also leads to tinnitus.

As vaccines often stimulate a response similar to the disease, it should not be a significant surprise that it is possible to have similar problems - though to a lesser degree.
