I used to have specific noises bother me.
Now it's a question of the pitch (lower tones in general are the worst) but that is due to an issue with one ear. For the most part, it doesn't work - but once in a while it will pick up a little (usually a lower pitched tone) and then it's too loud to stand! This is due to hairs responsible for sending sound to the brain dying - the brain can not handle not having a full set of tones - so what that hair was responsible for gets re-assigned to one already assigned a set of tones, both sets now are amplified. NBD if this only happens once or twice - but eventually, by the time you hear anything, it's already too LOUD to stand! This condition is called "recruitment".
What about those bothersome noises in the ear that is still good? Well I don't really notice them anymore even in the good ear because the tinnitus in the bad one is so bad 24/7/365 - Oh, WILL YOU STOP THIS RINGING ALREADY! - COME ON 15 YEARS WITHOUT A BREAK FOR EVEN ONE SECOND! - STOP IT - PLEASE!!1!!
