I cannot explain this, and do not proffess to even understand it. This has been an ongoing thing as I said for some years. I will look into your youtube examples, not sure if my range will be good tho. Occupational partial deafness I'm afraid.

Best regards.

As I said earlier, indeed the hum is not tinnitus, although it can coincide in a person, which seems to be the case with you. Most hummers however have no tinnitus, tinnitus seems to be not more present amongst others than amongst the not-humming population.

What it in the end is, this humming, nobody knows. All we have is a guessing game, sometimes with more and sometimes with less reasonable guesses.
