"By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. “After the first recording of it, it was ‘There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical."
I know this is basically at the end of the article, but it's not an excuse to write such a reply

- BoredPositron 2y agoI've seen them but there is absolutely no information at all. They don't sound like my own Tinnitus and they actually sound like a whistle. I know it is different for everyone but without a peer review this is pure marketing. Don't you believe the unnamed scientists would have published at least a preview with the release of the album? This would be groundbreaking work...

- criddell 2y agoYou don't see a lot of peer review on articles about musicians in an arts magazine. Search for "otoacoustic emissions" and you will find a bunch of research on this going back 30 years. FWIW, the sound in the YouTube video sounds exactly like my tinnitus.
- BoredPositron 2y agoSo this is old news? I really didn't know. I guess the original title with first recording of Tinnitus was a bit misleading.
- criddell 2y agoIn the article they also talk about otoacoustic emissions being a known phenomenon: > Present in most children but believed to fade over time, they’re also found far more in musicians than in other adults, for reasons yet unknown.
- vsuperpower2020 2y agoThis is apparently normal for magazines. I understand people wanting trashy fluff pieces, but I'm surprised people here do also.
- bowsamic 2y agoReally? You’re surprised that people on HN of all places want trashy fluff?
