WOW, you must be wired!  Truthfully, it must have something to do with a certain frequency in that spot in the store that triggers a hyperacussis response for you ..... sort of like dogs hearing very high pitches that we human beings do not.

I'll have to pay attention in the next thunderstorm.   ::)  I so frequently have the Morse code stuff ...... not sure if it is in the same situation every time.  I am trying so hard to ignore the tinnitus and focus on other more pleasant things in my environment ..... and I can do so much of the time, except when I am very tired and/or stressed.

Interesting thread .....

Weird is right.
I never got Morse code signals when I lived in South TX after my surgery. Now I live in WA and we don't have thunderstorms!
So, never experience anything like that, nor the Wal Mart freaky thing.
Weird is right :o
Do you have the BAHA implant or anything that might react?

Nothing close to that and we have had enough severe storms this spring/summer I believe I would have noticed.  Do you have any implants that might be susceptible to background RF noise?

I live in Phoenix, AZ...where we usually get some pretty good t-storms during the summer time (we call em monsoons). So far though it's been a bust, but I will let you know if it makes mine pop when they start happening! :)
