Do You Still Watch TV?

"Gotta have press ID."

"What's the matter? Don't you watch TV?"

"Gotta have press ID."

"I've got ID! I have a badge on my bag here!"

OK, so I have a Smart TV. The TV is hooked up to Wi-Fi. I have a Roku stick.

If I turn my TV on, I get a physical volt that hurts my ears immediately and the ringing increases. This is only with the TV on for two minutes so I can't watch TV, can I? I used to with subtitles but I find it now just turning the TV on is a no-can-do.

I can't seem to find anything on the subject. I can't be the only one and I'm not kidding you. It affects my ears.

Thank you.

Yes and with a full 7.1.4 audio system to boot.

I'm guessing that you can still use your computer? If so, it can be basically used as a TV. Not sure what the differences are between them that might make a difference to you. It may not be your TV, it may be the Wi-Fi, which does emit high frequency radio transmissions, and the TV does emit visible light frequencies and some thermal in the terms of heat. The larger and more powerful the device, the more one would get of all that.

I can't watch without loud masking. The low-frequency hum I have is constantly being masked and unmasked by the TV sounds, and it's impossible to tolerate because it turns the steady hum in silence into a loud, chaotic buzzing noise. Masking doesn't work perfectly, but with the fan on high, I'm managing it.
