This is the one thing I don’t like about some doctors and scientists: they think they know everything, and in doing so they become lazy and dismissive (or they only care about money and fame). They should always be curious, and always seek to find the next truth, no matter what the general consensus is in the community. Good on De La Mata for challenging the status quo.
Rarely, the sound may be heard by someone other than the patient by using a stethoscope, in which case it is known as “objective tinnitus”. Occasionally, spontaneous otoacoustic emissions, sounds produced normally by the inner ear, may result in tinnitus.
It’s not ‘physical’ in most cases. Or rather, it’s not acoustic but electric instead.

Relax, this is a warning.

The person you are replying to very clearly did not mean all doctors and scientists.
Which is a weird thing to bring up when the topic is scientists who were curious and solved a problem.
OK, not like I brought it up. Go be aggressive somewhere else.

I took his comment to mean the people who accepted that tinnitus was not physical.

It’s the same logic and immigrants are lazy and stealing all the benefits of society.
That logic is: someone invented a stereotype and people ran with it instead of being curious and doing science
This is literally an example of a scientist being curious about something they don’t know and setting up an extremely far fetched experiment.
that’s a good philosophy in general. but I’m practice, it’s hard.
for every million “that can’t be” theories only a handful pan out. doing every “stupid” experiment is practically impossible.
