I remember as a kid, any time I went to Radio Shack, I would hear a very high-pitched sound that no one else seemed to hear. I've always had a really good ear for music, a very slight form of synesthesisia, and I just assumed the two things were related. Now decades later, I have bad and worsening tinnitus.

I wonder if it's EMF damage. I can't afford the testing much less any of the mitigation efforts you describe, so I guess it doesn't matter, but interesting to ponder (and something to add to the long list of things we need to solve as a species that I won't live to see).

I have tinnitus, too. Constant low volume crickets. As I work on reducing my exposure, I'll be paying attention to whether it helps. I've heard it can be a problem with the little hairs in the ears that transduce sounds, from physical damage, or a brain defect, cause unknown. The EMF books cite it as a symptom. I need to study it more. Don't know if it's related, but I had a 23 and me gene scan couple years ago, and was reviewing the report to answer a question from my doctor, noticed a statement I'm less likely than average to be able to carry a tune. Never realized that could be genetic. Not sure yet if the listening aspect is affected by that gene, hearing the wrong tune, or the singing part. We are pretty amazing organisms.

I was a skeptic on this topic. Too much data points to the fact that this is real and causing real harm. Good article.

Mercola reports that a good gauge of truth in claims like these is the insurance industry, who rely strictly on actuarials, not theories. They specifically exclude coverage of liability claims for EMF injuries.

Sort of like the pharmaceutical industry, getting immunity from prosecution for their vaccines.

They paid good money for that protection, just as tobacco did, and Epstein, and Sam B--F, and many others. Innocence is for sale in every corrupt society. Lots of work to be done.

Agreed on all counts. Maybe unfixable.

I have some bags I use for stuff in my prep kits, for EMP mostly, but they're a lot of trouble for regular use. I am considering finding or constructing a cage for my router overnight. Or i might start unplugging it at night and rebooting in the morning. But i tend to be impatient, and lazy. I'm not quite to Burrell's enthusiasm seeking zero EMF, but will work steadily to reduce my electrosmog. My measurements so far indicate my house isn't too bad, and I haven't sensed any ill effects so far, so I'm not in a hurry. But I accept that there's risk so I'm working on improvements.
