I then copied and pasted that same answer back into the same LLM to check it, and it told me the...

I’ve wondered about this rather vague concept as well. I also recall that Dr. Shore’s earlier studies focused on noise-induced tinnitus in animals, such as guinea pigs and possibly mice, in relation to the DCN. However, I’m not sure that noise-induced necessarily means somatic in any strict...
