Tinnitus

Tinnitus is an inner ringing or buzzing unrelated to one's surroundings, read through the ears as how we take in what we are told - and as a noise that often arises under great performance stress, frequently after an emotional shock that raised one's stress sharply (a divorce, a job loss, a break-in). The pattern is a need to be recognised and have one's identity and rights respected, alongside a fear of losing one's place or status that one will not face, a difficulty questioning one's own ideas to the point of stubbornness, and a resistance to changes one did not choose. The short explanation's stressed, recognition-hungry resistance sits here. Relief is described as facing the change one is resisting, easing the need for recognition, and quieting the inner stress the ear is sounding.

(Note: this is a metaphysical interpretation; new or persistent tinnitus is worth having checked medically.)

Example from the findings: the inner ringing is read as unrelieved stress after a shock, resisting a change one won't face or hear.
