I'm trying to understand how intense the pure tone video was that I listened to, which caused my tinnitus. Does anyone know the general decibel levels that low-budget PC speakers can reach?

The video that caused my tinnitus has 40 million views and 4.000 comments, yet I can hardly find anyone else complaining about getting such an issue from it. I found someone, but I had to search for a very long time. Do you think it's a rare occurrence that an online hearing test (20 Hz to 20...

I didn't understand a thing: you said later that day a louder tone developed in your head and it took months before that died down, but from what I read later, you said it never went away?

The problem is: the normal hearing tests only go up to 8 kHz, while these online hearing tests that are responsible for a few people's tinnitus go all the way to 20 kHz, and these high frequencies are way more dangerous. I'm looking forward to hearing what your ENT has to say about this topic.

I'm a recent victim of these kinds of tests, and it's my impression that they're indeed more dangerous than the typical music and other sounds. Is there anyone who managed to recover from tinnitus caused by these tests, or has it always proved to be permanent?

I got the same issue. I listened to this exact hearing test, but it didn't cause issues for me. Then my brother let me try another, one that goes from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; 1 hour after I got tinnitus as well and it's now been going on for a few weeks. Did yours ever get better?
