I assume that is the cause of my high pitched tinnitus too. I haven't attended that many or that loud concerts but you just never know. All those times I came home half-drunk, ears ringing and crashed out... it's difficult to imagine there wasn't a lasting effect.

My uncle had it bad and he definitely never went to rock concerts. But he did work for the railroads and was undoubtedly exposed to industrial level noise and almost certainly without ear protection because you know they just didn't know better back then.

I've heard high blood pressure can cause it but mine is normal. However it does seem intermittent, sometimes I never even notice it...

But the article says "a technique known as bimodal neuromodulation, combining sounds with zaps to the tongue"... wait what... ZAPS TO THE TONGUE... ???

I'm going to guess this is kind of like eating spicy food or ginger to alleviate sea sickness. You provide some kind of distraction to the brain by stimulating other parts of the body.

. . . hmmm, that would be hearing LOSS, not (unwanted and) gained

@FearlessFly I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over that ringing in my ears
