    Link Between High Psychological Tension, Tensor Tympani Muscle, Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    Evidence of Cochlear Neural Degeneration in Normal-Hearing Subjects with Tinnitus

    Indeed. But maybe it is about gradual vs. sudden onset, i.e. the theory that gradual hearing loss allows the brain to adjust. It's the sudden (due to noise trauma) loss that makes the brain go haywire. And people's tolerances may vary here. I had a fair amount of noise exposure in my youth -...
