While tinnitus ringing isn't a result of vibrations activating the hair cells in the cochlea, the hair cells are still the reason the ringing occurs. If I recall correctly, it is still possible to exhaust these ringing-inducing hair cells to gain temporary relief. I wonder if you could somehow mask in a constant ringing that would exhaust these specific hair cells at some frequency for extended relief?

it's certainly possible with a modified furby. there could have been a voice recorder placed inside, but that threat seems possible with other toys as well, maybe there was some opportunity due to the popularity of furbys.

in terms of the furby's unmodified hardware capabilities, the microphone was simply used for volume level reaction. reading through the furby's firmware, the mic was used as a peak volume input.
