I was trying to describe what my tinnitus sounds like, and I told my wife that it’s “like the sound a CRT TV makes but louder”. She had no idea what I was talking about. Turns out she can’t hear sounds in the 15khz range; which is at the top of the human audible range anyways.
I wish I could tell my younger self to turn the volume down on his headphones and wear ear protection around heavy equipment. Too late. Now I’ve gotta live with this high pitched whine for the rest of my life. Thankfully mine doesn’t bother me most of the time.
