We ‘may’ have discovered a potential remedy for tinnitus
Is it possible that tinnitus is actually just a person's inability to ignore natural noise in the hearing systems? More of a physchological issue like chewing fingernails or having OCD, but which can be amplified by legitimate physical hearing damage?I ask this because for all the life I can remember, I've always been able to perceive a high-pitched tone, even in completely quiet environments. If I actually focus on it, it's quite loud and annoying.It's just that my "default state" is to not think or notice this tone, and instead focus on "actual" sounds.I have been tested to not have hearing damage.
