My S/O and I both looked at each other once and were like... wtf is that? maybe a shift in earth pressure during change of season? It's been really windy here but I don't understand all that. It just happened to me again just now and made me wonder if other people feel that?
Well I'm talking about 1/100 or 1/1000hz loss, so no you would not be able to tell the difference over the long period. I too can hear both of those things but I know for a fact that my hearing has had some form of loss. And yes, you can incur tinnitus from loud ass noises. I said a lot of tinnitus is mental, not all of it. I've personally experienced the effects of the mental version including; tonic tensor tympani syndrome (my tympanic membrane had muscle spasms that I could both hear and physically feel) as recently as a couple weeks ago while finishing up a rather stressful school semester that ended after I completed it. Go home Fluf, your'e drunk!

@Polsaker needs to weigh in on this... he was just mentioning we lose roughly 5 kilohertz becoming full blown adults (25-30) so there's a chance we lose a lot because of music and crap we do... losing a hertz or two a day wouldn't really mean anything like you're saying... but I'd bet it's based on activities... headphones with death metal is probably a day you lose more... or does it even work like that? it's so interesting!!

Quoting the Wikipedia article I linked earlier on this post:
The commonly stated range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz and as high as 28 kHz, though the threshold increases sharply at 15 kHz in adults, corresponding to the last auditory channel of the cochlea. Humans are most sensitive to (i.e. able to discern at lowest intensity) frequencies between 2,000 and 5,000 Hz. Individual hearing range varies according to the general condition of a human's ears and nervous system. The range shrinks during life, usually beginning at around age of eight with the upper frequency limit being reduced. Women typically experience a lesser degree of hearing loss than men, with a later onset. Men have approximately 5 to 10 dB greater loss in the upper frequencies by age 40.
Edit: I'm talking about natural hearing loss. It's probably deepened when exposed to very high noises, etc.

i've heard that and i've also heard that its a myth. fwiw, the science behind hearing is pretty imperfect but if every not real tone i heard meant i'd no longer hear that or some tone, i feel like i'd have noticed with some of the music i listen to. also, i can still hear mosquito alarm/shitty old tv sound. and try standing within 30ft of the speakers of a large venue regularly and tell me tinnitus is mental lol. -not to sound defensive, just drunk-
