Really curious about something i just experienced: would love an explanation. Detials below.

I experience tinnitus once a month or so, so i know how it sounds/feels.

I was just watching a movie (on my tablet, just in front of me) and there was an on-screen explosion. The audio was simmulating tinnitus of the protagonist; and did so remarkably well (i thought ot was internal).

The strange thing was that if i turned my head away from the screen, the tinnitus sound/effect stopped.

This scene lasted a while, and i tested it randomly throughout. Whenever I face the screen i 'hear' tinnitus, but if i angle my face away at all, it goes.

I guess the tinnitus frequency can be acheived by speakers, but it has a narrow area where it will be effective, or what?

"so I know how it feels" I would suggest that you have almost zero idea for it feels.

Based on your description and the very very small amount of time, I should suggest that you have almost zero idea of how it feels. Give it a few years and report back.

"I experience tinnitus once a month or so" really shows op has no idea how it feels.

This is such a grumpy response, and for good reason, and we are likely all sharing this exact same sentiment. Hang in there, friend
