Ad for a tinnitus remedy, which illustrates its point by playing a loud, high-pitched mechanical squeal.

Even if I didn't suffer from tinnitus myself -- even if the "remedy" weren't certainly quackery -- I would be moved to murderous rage.

Sweet murderous rage. But where to channel it? Where????

Oh, I get enough squeal off of the computer... and Sony televisions, and silent burglar-alarms used to really wreak havoc on my nerves!

Amusingly (or not) years ago, I mixed up the name of the squealing disease with a venereal one, and thought it was amusing that 'ringing in the ears' sounded like, "tin ear"!

Do you ever try to figure out what pitch it is? I do, but I lose track of how many octaves up it is....
