Have you heard of people developing tinnitus from being around the radar after ~20 years? It's supposed to be a special kind of tinnitus, one with a personality. If that makes sense

Early on in 2020 I caught COVID. Immediately after I got tinnitus in one ear. Either with the straining of only focusing on the ringing or some other way I got double hearing at the same time. It scared me so much because I couldn't enjoy anything, music, radio, white noise. Nothing at all sounded normal, I tried explaining to people that everything sounded different and scary. A lot of people thought I was going crazy but the state paid for a couple audiologist visits and they ended up telling me I had to relearn how to listen. That was it. I was terrified of anything that made sound and stuck in isolation for about a year. By the end of it I had made friends with my tinnitus, it had changed its " tone with me" and sometimes waking me up with the most beautiful insect sounds that instantly relaxed me and made me fall back asleep. Am I crazy?

Is it possible to to train someone to use their vocal cords without speaking to train the brain to "talking " to itself, and then listening in on someone's inner voice by tapping into the newly formed speech center in the brain?
