cause i hear way too many stories of people getting tinnitus or it spiking either from stress, or just getting it out the blue. theres like no reason sometimes, but hopefully tho once we figure out the auditory system we can fix all tinnitus issues
also not to be funny but the kiss you got that increased your tinnitus could of been infected like from some viral strand or a weak version of herpes or something like that. im not a doctor but that is so puzzling,
