A "viscous" circle, really?

Reminds me of those high-viscosity jackets.

Must be the tinnitus... makes things sound really "thick."

Ahh, that's what it's all about, thanks for clearing that up

I kind of think of tinnitus as the "noise floor" in our nervous system. Just like electronics are subject to noise created by the random motion of electrons (though this is typically white noise), I suspect our own nervous system experiences something similar.

I have mild tinnitus; usually it doesn't bother me. Sometimes when I'm laying in bed it can get annoying. Other times, when the tinnitus has faded, and it's really, really quiet in the house, I can hear the blood pumping through the vessels in my ears.

I have it bad. Two causes:
Years of home recording with guitar preamps into speaker simulators - no external noise to wake up neighbors or friends, but that means I'd crank the headphones more for me...

Playing in bands, especially in small rehearsal spaces, where the drummer had no dynamics control, and everyone had to turn up to be heard.

Viscous? No, my ringing is a lot higher than that. Good article though and thanks for sharing, even if just for the proof-reading.

Back in the 50's my mother held a job proofreading a newspaper in NJ (not old Jersey). I don't think they do that any more... I read the WSJ everyday and find one or more incorrect words a week in articles. They are often spelled correctly, just the wrong words.

Exactly, as in this case - a software spellcheck doesn't catch it. Seems like authors & editors are just lazy enough to rely on that without doing a manual check.

My phone doesn't have autocorrect. It has automistake.

Most people are terrible at proofreading stuff that they, themselves, wrote. You see what you think you wrote, not what's on the page. If it matters, get someone else to read it.

If you're stuck alone, one (mildly painful) trick is to read the whole thing backwards word-by-word. This forces you to see each word's spelling and is good for spotting editoes such as repeated words. Launguage sucks. -F
