    I am not really too sure that anyone knows why. I think one theory that I heard is that neurons filled the void from frequencies that or below and/or above that are still functioning.

    @Ryan Scott that “makes sense” as much as T can make sense. Wish so badly my brain didn’t care so much about losing frequencies that aren’t even important/needed for speech and the general world around me ;(

    @ErikaS Agreed. Having some form of hearing loss is bad enough why does tinnitus have to be a side effect lol. Its a shame tinnitus has just gotten clinical/research interest in the last couple decades, otherwise we would probably understand it much better.

    i think you can have hearing loss at low frequencies that do not show up on an audiogram.

    @Strawberryblonde hmm, that would be interesting because I have shown “perfect range” at the frequencies that I hear these noises/sounds at, all being between 1500-2500 hz which are in speech range as well and I have no difficulty with speech. Then again when does T ever make sense? Lol

    @Strawberryblonde That is correct you can have hearing loss at low frequencies that don't show on a standard audiogram. My understanding is audiograms test at the frequencies shown on the X-axis and not between them. It's not like a calculus function that gets evaluated from 0 to the limit.

    Correct you can have a 233khz loss and have it not show up on an audiogram :-/ @Ryan Scott
    Have you matched your low frequency on Audionotch? @ErikaS

    I guess I should have said none of these are straight tones. These lower frequency sounds are like morse code and bounce around different notes.. so WHO KNOWS where they came from and WHY they won’t go away ;(

    I have an oscillating morse code in my left ear. Up and down, dull and sharp sounding then it dissappears then comes back. I got no chance of matching that tone haha @ErikaS how are you holding up with all this as time is going on?

    @Strawberryblonde yesterday was a quieter day, but today was one of my most intrusive days. I think the sensitivity and loudness is the aftermath of my travels as well as the interventions. I was aware things could be sensitive for a little before calming down and then hopefully improving, it’s just hard to live it and stay calm :( this ultra high T that radiates in ears and head is the worst.

    Having a good days goes to show the T can do it if it pleases. It's a shame that normal life including travel tends to spike it. Take the spike away and your half way to being OK :) @ErikaS
