First post on HN! And apprehensive to say all this but here goes. My tinnitus is triggered upon exposure to EMFs, both household, low frequency EMFs and now from higher band frequency from cell towers. My tinnitus made its' first appearance in 1998 when I was a network engineer and was messing around with WiFi. I did not know EMFs were the cause at that time. But gradually the sound got worse, but would always come and go. (Loud, high pitched, mostly left ear, sometimes I get a muffled pop and then a really loud ringing that tapers off to the normal level.) I also now have physician confirmed hearing loss in my left ear. I first discovered the EMF connection around 2016 when I went camping in the desert and my tinnitus totally disappeared. We were so remote none of us had any cell signal. I still did not realize it was EMFs but at that point I knew there was an environmental connection. It was only after a few years in experimenting that I found the cause. I traveled up toe Green Bank, WV which is a radio free zone with no cell signals allowed and my tinnitus vanished. Why I think this is happening to me is that the EMFs affect the voltage gated ion channels (Potassium?[1], Calcium [2]), in the ear stimulating the neurons [3][4]. I think this is a genetic condition caused my some sort of channelopathy [5] that runs in my family. I use my cell phone on my left as well which would make sense that it is mostly in my left ear. But ever since the 5G roll out things have become terrible for me. Much louder an more frequency in certain places. I am not saying what I have here is proof, and this is the cause of everyone's tinnitus. But my experience is that mine stops every time I am away from Anthropogenic EMFs. And please, no tinfoil hat jokes or Better Call Saul references, I heard them all.
