Some scientists are trying to find out https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/tinnitus-treatment-research-1.7100837 That's interesting. Growing up my brother and I could both 'hear' certain electrical devices, most specifically those long fluorescent tube lights prevalent in school. Or so we thought, at least. It got pretty bad at times, and I'd often develop headaches from it. I don't know that he ever experienced anything that may have caused tinnitus, though I did have a nasty concussion at five years of age that has had lingering, long term effects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad had horrible tinnitus. Especially in his 90's. It drove him half nuts. Now my wife has a mild case so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since its inception back in ~ 2006 or so, many other countries are now setting up undersea observatories of their own. Canadian researchers rarely Bragg about their ground breaking achievements but they should have. I have followed the site since its inception back when the two underwater platforms were called Venus and Neptune. https://www.oceannetworks.ca/multimedia/live-cameras/ Edited April 5 by Kootenay Gold 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arrogant Worms Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 California on alert as San Andreas fault hints at a quake https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/10/california-alert-san-andreas-fault-hints-a-quake-20623561/ Scientists are always eagerly studying it, because it is right on top of the San Andreas fault, and has been called the ‘earthquake capital of the world’. The famous faultline running from north to south of the Golden State will soon be due for a tremor, and all eyes are on the town as the potential epicentre. Measurements there are behaving a bit oddly, though, according Luca Malagnini, the director of research at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy. He told Live Science that he suspects there will be a quake in the area at some point this year – but not necessarily at Parkfield. At the moment, there are no telltale signs which could indicate cracks precipitating an imminent quake, according to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Earth Science last month.
