I have had temporary spikes becoming very significant after some situations with loud accidental noises (after my initial episode getting tinnitus). I have measured a lot of them after, for science, with good earmuffs on and a dB-meter near the source. Some have been 108-110 dbA impact...

Did you get any answers? Or did you do it yourself @Mystery Reader?

Some heat pumps and mini-split (ductless) air conditioners (especially the outdoor and indoor units) generate a relatively high-pitched noise when operating. I suspect it is caused by high-frequency switching circuits in the unit's power supply, as this is a known issue with other electronics...

I myself have it too, and cannot remember having it before tinnitus. But there are times when I don't have crackling, though I cannot control it. I have tried to figure out what triggers its worsening, and I have narrowed it down to either loud sudden sounds (like sudden 80+ dB sounds) OR...

My NAC-containers have never had any RDA listed. The pills have been 600 mg, although the text have said "Daily value not established". What has been listed as RDA on your NAC, and how much have you taken when getting stomach issues?

He noticed the tinnitus after 5 days as I understood it, not it having a 5 day duration. Also the mechanism is not necessarily the same for noise and COVID-19 induced tinnitus. The odds are therefore possible better for @Nitish than first thought. I agree on the Curcumin/Turmeric, maybe take...

Yea, you might be right in the end, maybe the virus will transform to a less dangerous version, I have never understood how this works. I had and have no way not to be exposed eventually due to family members going to school and another working at the hospital, so I felt I had to take a vaccine...

If you have the opportunity maybe you could (with ear protection), or even better have the school do it, measure the actual dB-level of the bell. If is is above 110-115 dB the school should not be using it at all imo. When that is said, 115 dB in "bell"/alarm frequency is something that feels...

Do you think you will be able to avoid getting the virus, or do you think the virus will be less damaging?

In Denmark there was a "Mink-outbrake" (12 humans + some minks), which made the country basically freak totally out and kill every single Mink in the country; Mink-strain of COVID-19 virus in Denmark I am surprised if minks are the only animal capable of taking this role...

What made it first appear?

Does it also appear when you talk? It does for me, but not all days. I have no idea how to stop the crackling...

Thanks for the update! Glad you are okay. How many minutes did it take to do it, and did your ears hurt while doing it (or only your teeth/gums)?

Very interesting information! Does the laser equipment that can do this have some specific name you remember?

I had already left and lived on my own, going to school at that time. However, visits home and phone calls, gatherings, SMS messages - I stopped. Except for maybe very practical stuff. However, not all of my family was like that, so I could still have some contact with a number of them - the...
