Do you have similar experience?
BTW do you have only daughters? there are rummers about it. Sorry for being too personal.No. Never.
Been exposed to RF (MHz to GHz), close up and personal, for over 55 years...
Your sensitivity is very similar to mine. I also have tinnitus. When we worked in the school labs I found out that I hear better than the rest high frequencies up to 22KHz.RF - No problem.
High voltage overhead power lines, 132kv to 400kv, always make me feel "uneasy" when I am near them. Whether the effect is real or just a psychological thing because of the "big ziggies", I do not know.
The last CRT based TV I owned had a noisy frame oscillator or rattley frame deflection coils, it could be quite noticable at times.
I now have tinnitus, whether that was triggered by that TV I do not know.

In the heading "ultrasound of RF" should have been "ultrasound or RF" I made a mistake typing and I don't know how to correct it.You seem to have moved from RF emf sensitivity to low-frequency sound. Sensitivity to low-frequency sound is well documented. However your claims regarding RF have never been documented with controlled studies. Obviously, no one can prove the non-existence of anything. However, the burden of proof is clearly on those who claim the unusual that is contrary to science, and for that you have presented no verifiable or scientific evidence.

An ordinary user cannot edit a thread title, but a moderator can if you ask nicely.In the heading "ultrasound of RF" should have been "ultrasound or RF" I made a mistake typing and I don't know how to correct it.
As I mentioned before I read many of those articles. I'm still interested to know why only some people are affected. I disagree with the idea that the sensitivity is a result of over exposure, mainly because it doesn't fit my own statistics.No.
According to wikipedia though, you arent labeled freaks and ignored. There is a term for it. It seems to have been widely studied.

A Ton of articles from Google scholar

I'm not looking forward for that day.The good news for you is that someday it will no longer bother you.

The members of this forum are the right people to consult because of their understanding of science. Scientists are the wrong source of information because they are paid by the big corporations.
The fact that you remember hearing the 15KHz from the TV supports my conclusions. I think that people who are born with good hearing develop sensitivity to sound later on.Tinnitus as well at about 2600 Hz. Cause - long term antibiotic use due to an incompetent HMO.
Sensitivity to sound. When in migraine mode it's nuts. It's rare I listen to the radio except in the car. Lately TV commercials have been annoying me to the point one hand is always on the "mute" button. Music doesn't sound the same anymore. It's not pleasant. Around the house, I might wear "hearing protectors" because I want it to be quiet. This guy https://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-H10A-Optime-Earmuff/dp/B00009LI4K I really like.
I also have a BOSE Quiet Comfort II noise canceling headset. The QC III s a dramatic improvement, but I don't have one.
Not understanding is another issue.
I used to hear the 15 kHz sound. But yes, sound can also GIVE me a headache.
You are right and I also know about this bias. Emotionally I'm more comfortable with my own lies. I think I'm a typical man, I like to feel that "I did it my way".You do realise this is what confirmation Bias is right? Only finding information that suits your opinion and "what you know". We are all guilty of it to an extent.
You have answered the question yourself.Scientists have ethics, Not all of them are paid off by big corps. It peeves me when people say this, there are GOOD people in the world. Scientists aren't one of the bad guys. However, consider this, if you were offered millions of dollars of funding to put out biased results versus going broke for research, which would you chose? The funding of course.
