I have a kind of tinnitus that comes and goes based on how stressed out the tendons in my neck and jaw are, on one side, after a pretty serious physical injury.

I can basically massage away my tinnitus a good deal of the time, its only on the side that got fucked up.

Beyond that, I actually have exceptionally good hearing (for my age at least), and I often hear things other people don't even notice, yay autism!

    Poorly shielded inductors in switch mode PSUs/old CRTs for me (Very common in older devices, low current causes the switching frequency to drop into the audible range.)

    You can build your own tinnitus inducer with a cheapo 100kHz buck ic, put an air coil inductor on it, and then decrease the current until failure.

    About 2/3 of my family (including me) have the same thing, some kind of hereditary issue with the nerve that runs from the jaw up behind the ear. Accompanied by most of us also having jaws that don't quite fit in their sockets properly and tend to pop and crunch from time to time.
