There are unique folks like myself. I already have hearing damage related Tinnitus. That's bad enough.

During the covid shutdowns, the 5G installations by us went on, and went faster. To my unhappy surprise, I started to hear a transformer-like low hum occasionally. I searched the house for a source - upstairs, basement, attic, over our garage. Then it came back, louder, sleep interruptive, and constant. As it happens, my phone switched to full 5G at the same time, and I saw the new poles and boxes all over.

Sleep is now fetching, as it's an intrusive noise. Not Hyperacusis, it's only this sound. It's not present when I'm in other places.

Commenting that I'm not alone - - and the fact that these are near schools is concerning, let alone outside someone's front window.
