Ultrasonic Aninal Deterrent
If you hear one if these things, get away from it... or smash it.
My tinnitus started years ago and had settled to the point where I could feel like life was almost quiet again. It could only be agitated. Just yesterday we were at a rental lake house and the neighbors had one of those systems set up. The things kept blasting at random and had a light associated with them so we knew they were running. I got fed up and was about to go confront the neighbor and of course it was the blast from right after getting up that started me on full-blown tinnitus again.
It's the same as the first time. Louder than literally anything else, kept me from sleeping last night. No signs of fading. It's a new frequency too and dissonant with the ringing I already had.
I dont know if there's any recourse from this and I'm really hoping whatever coping mechanism I had for the original tinnitus helps this one chill out sooner than later.
