    @BorgDrone @ValueSubtracted As a person with tinnitus, it seemed important to me. Let me know exactly what was going on. It’s also very common in video games, for example when someone is dazed by a nearby explosion. Again it conveyed a lot of meaning to me and helped explain what they were going through.

      Sure, but there is a difference between having that sound at low volume for 2 seconds and blasting it through all 10 speakers for 20.

        It seemed a perfectly harmless and appropriate volume to me listening on headphones. Perhaps your bass needs adjustment.

          It seemed a perfectly harmless

          As someone with tinnitus, it not only hurt, but triggered my tinnitus to be worse for the rest of the day.

          Far from harmless. I had a proper issue with the excessive ringing in this episode.
