tinnitus

After today's tests of measuring subsonic frequencies 3 stories below the underground transit system, deciphering the ambient noise that I recorded on street level yesterday evening, and measuring the distance and rate at which these vibrations travel, I've developed quite a distressing case of tinnitus. The ringing is at a horribly high pitch, which I've calculate, within the ambience of my cranial cavity is at decibels and 19.73 kHz.

This has never happened before.

Usually, when I conduct these tests, even at 21.53 kHz, the most physical sensation that I'm left with is a tingling up and down my spine. But today, this tinnitus is preventing me from responding to the other frequencies that help me deal with my emotional state. I played the harmonies in D major which generally elates me, and I couldn't hear it because the tinnitus obscures the sound. I never play these recordings so loud induce this type of aural shock.

The worst part of all of this is that for the first time, I can't hear the voices beneath Spectre 52, Spectre 51.5 or Spectre 49.
