The article's opening line - What you don't hear can hurt you


I am a huge advocate that most modern tinnitus is from electronics.

What was not included in the article are CELL PHONE TOWERS.

Quotes from the article:

'young people whose hearing is more sensitive to high-frequency noise' ​

'under ordinary circumstances almost no one hears ultrasonic signals. But when two in audible sonic beams intersect, they can generate audible tones at frequencies that could cause annoyance and pain'​

It was the ultrasonic high pitched noise / squeal in the cab of my 2013 GMC Sierra that f**ked up my ears... for about 5 years.

And forever changed my life. I can no longer go in loud restaurants, and can tolerate no electronic speakers... except for my iPod at very low volume.

Ultrasonic Noise Gets New Scrutiny
​

We're currently dealing with new "smart meter" installations in our area. Lots of problems reported with them, including a LOT of health issues. It appears the #1 health issue is tinnitus. So it feels like we have no choice but to opt out, even though they charge an initial $137 for it, and $35/month afterwards. That's over $500 for the coming year. NOT happy about that!
