consciousness,

Too late for me at 60, but that's good news for coming generations. The cause of my tinnitus would be hard to trace-- high fever as a kid, drill sergeant in the days when the Army said "ear plugs?", raced cars. The last time I fired a rifle without ear protection all the sirens of hell let loose.

I really need to find out. I have a vague notion that canal plugs might be legal, but headphone types are not.

I'm continuing to look into it. I've been wanting to play with some noise cancellation goodies ever since I first read about the technology.

Now if somebody would come up with SWMBO cancelling headphones...

I never thought of that. Now I'm wondering if it would work...

I guess I'll find out one of these days. I sold the guns awhile back because I hadn't gotten to go shooting for years, and I needed cash.

I was going to ask what SWMBO means... but I did a quick google of it. Let me know when they become available, because hopefully the HWMBO version won't be far behind. ;D

Don't bother, my experience has shown that nobody's home! :^)

A lady on the production line in a factory where I used to work (electronic assembly, not a noisy environment) had a constant "popping" noise in her ears. It was at about heart rate, don't know whether it was synchronised. If you placed your ear next to hers, you could hear it too. Must have been hell to live with. The noise, not the lady.

I've had a hair in my ear canal rub against my eardrum with similar results.

No, I just asked Korotkoff.
