I already have hearing damage related Tinnitus. That's bad enough.\n\nDuring the covid shutdowns, the 5G installations by us went on, and went faster.

As it happens, my phone switched to full 5G at the same time, and I saw the new poles and boxes all over.\n\nSleep 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.\n\nCommenting that I'm not alone - - and the fact that these are near schools is concerning, let alone outside someone's front window.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3459","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"84613a59fe4134163d7b2b050baf4f43541bc9f8659488a0387dd05c91186110","slug":"health-experiences-comment-3459","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3459","body_sha256":"ac6512527ff11671c355517fb7fac12a755164768d289ec792a0d9e2200c1cde","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":" over our garage.
