Do Ultrasonic Products (Cleners, Humidifiers, Nebulizers, ...) Affect Your Tinnitus?

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I wanted to get everyone’s opinion and experience on Ultrasonic products such as cleaners, humidifiers, nebulizers, etc. Did you notice any effect on your tinnitus?

I may have to get an ultrasound soon on my neck, and it got me thinking about ultrasound and ultrasonic products in general. I then started finding articles like this:

Invisible ultrasound can be a cause of tinnitus

I thought it was interesting and wanted to see if anyone knew more about this topic.

 

Shameful bump.

No one has experience with ultrasound products?!

 

I had to look up what an ultrasonic humidifier was, and it turns out I have one, this one:

GENIANI Portable Small Cool Mist Humidifiers 250ML - USB Desktop Humidifier for Plants, Office, Car, Baby Room with Auto Shut Off & Night Light - Quiet Mini Humidifier (White)

It's had no effect on my tinnitus (FYI, my tinnitus isn't noise-induced).

 

Thanks for letting me know. I would be curious as to how much dB these things actually produce. I assume if it is low, then it doesn't matter how low or high pitched the sound is.

 

Another question is whether the frequencies these devices emit at are in the range that human ears can detect. Ultrasonic is supposed to be above 20 kHz?

 

Right. I think this is outside the range of human detection, but based on the articles it seems it could still potentially damage it.
