Yes, this is my experience, too. Air leakage from seals and even some display screens on or near max brightness is where I find the most extraneous noise.
I’m laughing reading everyone’s comments about stereotypes of captains who wear ship sets, recalling a fairly recent takeoff where, as PM, I called V1, Rotate and did not see any movement on the yoke. I yelled louder, “RO-TATE!” at which point we both laughed. That was in the loudest 717 I’ve flown.

Had a long discussion about this with the audiologist while she did my evaluation. The gist of it: hearing loss and tinnitus are two separate conditions but still to this day there's a lot of resistance in accepting that. So it's harder to get rated for tinnitus if you don't have some hearing loss

One of my buddy's from flight school had his denied. And according to the audiologist that did my evaluation you're correct, there isn't a way to test for tinnitus. They tested me for hearing loss but the tinnitus portion is a questionnaire. They essentially just ask a bunch of questions to see how the ringing in your ears affects your everyday life.
