Please remove or give option to turn off Tinnitus effect

I have tinnitus and while there are games I don't mind for example Battlefield 1 has a Tinnitus effect, in that game the sound effect is very mild and short and doesn't bother my tinnitus. But for B...

Changing the frequency range? really?

What if a player does not have the technical knowledge to tone down a very specific range of Hz's (likely most of the community)? Wouldn't it be easier to have an option to disable that effect?

No sorry @rouvio ,

That would not work because the specific frequency range(s) triggering the tinnitus for sufferers are very individual.  So one size does unfortunately not fit all, so to speak.

And please, let's not try and overcomplicate the actions involved to change the EQ settings for your speakers or headset.  Its part of consumer electronic now since the 1970ties...  Most of these have detailed online step by step guides to follow.  And these few steps involved to set your sound equalizer settings are honestly much simpler than what it takes to start your BF game and handle your soldier.  🙂

@CyberDyme Yeah, certain sounds ranges will trigger it, but I'm not asking for the overall sound changes, but for this specific sound effect that can be heard by pretty much anyone.

Sometimes depending of the explosion effect it will be louder or a bit quiet. Like I said, having an option in accessibility settings would be nice and just could make it so the game goes muffled for the period of the tinnitus sound effect. I just think they kinda over did it this time since is not only louder but long lasting.

And while I agree with the use of software to countermeasure the issue, is still a bit of work to put, specially for non techsavy users, kinda like colorblind that they might have to change their settings for themselves.
