If you’re worried you have tinnitus you can also be hearing air conditioner units whine or even the fridge.
I spent some time in the middle of what I’ll call the Mexican outback during the winter - everything is dead. There’s nothing at night, not even bugs. I could hear the blood pump in my ears. Pretty neat. No lights or stars either. The closest to ‘deadening silence’ I’ve ever been.
- TylerE 3y agoFrom my experience the reverse is much more common - that's what people THINK they're hearing when they actually DO have tinnitus. CRT whine was big one in the 90s/early 00s.
- technothrasher 3y agoI'm old enough that I can no longer hear high frequencies such as CRTs, but my life long tinnitus is still with me. It is also high frequency, and similar to a CRT whine, but I never mistook one for the other.
