    Link Between COVID-19, Tinnitus, Hearing Loss, and Vertigo

    A friend sent me an IFLS story that linked to a study showing that "among people who were infected with COVID-19, around 7.6 percent suffered from hearing loss and 14 percent experienced tinnitus... A further 14.8 percent of people also reported vertigo..." It's unclear to me if "people who...

    Sloppy Tinnitus Journalism

    The first highlighted section is what came up in the Google blurb when I searched "Neil Young tinnitus." Note that when you read further it doesn't exactly sound like he's currently "suffering" from it so much as putting up with a little residual noise.
