We need to talk about AirPods Pro

That's my theory! I bought the airpods pro before nov, and around nov 2019 I developed tinnitus that I couldn't pinpoint the cause of, even after going to an ENT & Audiologists. After going to the Audiologist. I also found out tinitus is a big mystery in the medical field outside of a small band of causes that I didn't have.

The only difference in my day to day was the Airpods Pro and biking to work with them.

Why would you bike wearing noise-cancelling headphones? It seems odd if one values one's life.

They have a hear through option that works with wind noise, unlike a lot of other ones?

Ah, I did not know that! I assume, though, that that mode doesn't implement ANC. Given that, I'm not sure it explains your symptoms.

No it still uses ANC, it uses the microphones to pipe in the audio from outside.

Early 30s, and I've been one to avoid loud sounds / concerts for most of my life. The spontaneous development of it is what really got me. I first got it on a quiet car ride.
