      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Virus / Microsuction / Acoustic Trauma
      It's easy to gloss over for me because these are the two forms of damage that are always discussed.

      I wondered if there is scientific literature where we've found other types of damage to the cochlea from noise exposure. If not, that's fine, but if so it would be helpful to understand what other kinds of damage exist.

      When I think about holistic healing that may be needed to improve/mitigate tinnitus, I want to make sure I have the bigger picture.

      Off the top of my head, noise can also contribute to secondary endolymph hydrops, perilymph fistula and superior canal dehiscence.

      noise injury
      The myelin (nerve fat) that coats nerves can disappear and schwann's cells in the ear can die. It's called the "second" kind of hidden hearing loss.

      Once a stupid tinnitus scam completely twisted this research to sell their snake oil.

      This happens, as your link mentioned in response to immune reactions such as GBS and is a problem in some people but his question was about noise specifically.
