I've read that tinnitus is not really an "ear" thing, but a "brain" thing... I have it too.

I am a huge fan of Firstenberg's book, "The Invisible Rainbow"-- finally reading it, now.

Yes! It's fascinating. From that last link regarding Allan Frey, "The “hearing,” however, didn’t happen via normal sound waves perceived through the ear. It apparently occurred somewhere in the brain itself, as microwaves interacted with the brain’s cells, which generate tiny electrical fields. Frey proved also that many deaf people and animals could hear microwave radiation. This phenomenon came to be known as the Frey effect, or simply “microwave hearing.”

Yes!

And I long for the day when that "hearing" stops. Cheers!
