a professional journalist will not input their thoughts in science/economic/etc if they aren't sure what it means. Their job is to report facts but also to majke sure what they're reporting makes sense and is accptable for anyone to read. They don't need and don't have to know about everything obviously. But they usually will have an opinion from someone who understands of the matter before writing crazy assumptions about it. What if tinnitus had the same meaning as eating poo? would this journalist be just describing everything they "hear" about? It's very unprofessional, specially coming from BBC which is werll known worldwide. tinnitus is not a disease, it's a symptom, so you can't assume or even speculate her disease is "tinnitus" and that it was caused by sound exposure and led to her deafness. To the regular reader, it goes unnoticed but for someone who works with health, that article is annoying to read. If it were from a second hand company I'd let it go..but it's BBC.
