When the Order of the Phoenix discovers that Lucius Malfoy, rich bachelor and womaniser extraordinaire, may secretly be a Death Eater with access to an item that could be the key to bringing down Voldemort, Lily Evans comes up with a brilliant plan: to seduce him into inviting her to his house, and then take the opportunity to snoop around for information.

āI thought we were only going to watch,ā he teases. āI didnāt realise you were the nightās prima ballerina.ā
Itās been years since Lily was forced to abandon that dream ā since she exchanged tutus and ballet slippers for black robes and a wand ā and thereās no bitterness lingering. Still, she crosses her arms over her chest and raises a challenging eyebrow at him. They both like a challenge ā revel in it, really. āAre you making fun of my outfit?ā
āNot at all. Iām just saying, nobodyās going to be looking at Odette when youāre looking like that.ā
James and Lily go on a date to watch ballet.

The scariest thing in Stranger Things wasnāt the demodogs, Vecna, or the unstable reality. It was the women lying unconscious in hospital beds, forced to carry pregnancies to term by the government even if it killed them.
This is the best description Iāve heard for this method, I always thought it was bullshit because I never heard a description that actually explained how to do this other than ātap your head 20 timesā.
I have anxiety-induced hissing, which sounds/feels different from sound-induced tinnitus (which I have also experience). Sound-based tinnitus actually sounds like youāre āhearingā something in your ears, whilst the hissing I have feels like itās āinside my headā, if that makes sense. But this technique still helps!!
