    If only we were birds. Or crocodiles. Lucky bastards, able to regenerate ear hair cells. I'll take a tinnitus free life in exchange for higher reasoning. Being human is overrated anyway.

    I can't say for sure if this is precisely something like dysacusis, but if it is, you have a good chance of it clearing up over time. Stay the course, and don't subject yourself to any harmful levels of noise. Do you suffer from acid reflux regularly? Even if you don't notice it (silent...
