There's no way this isn't just ppl who have never noticed before. I just don't buy it. They looked at some light and a time where they happened to have a few extra and they think it's the first time lol.

I had tinnitus for years until I got a plugged ear and realized that's what it was.

A car accident gave me mine so it’s quite possible that some people didn’t have them (or any that were actually noticeable).

Nah the vast majority get them later in life.
