I personally have never had either sensation. It always seemed to be a “crowd reaction” rather then one that was naturally induced. That being said, I was that kid that had a parent that loved to blast music while I was in the carseat. I have had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. So take my reply with a grain a salt.
