What a coincidence. I too have tinnitus which I attribute to too many years of shooting without ear protection ( which wasn't even a "thing" when I was a kid. ) I know that because my right ear is way worse than my left.

I always present the option of PIR's first but with free roaming animals, in this case the customer opted for glass break detectors instead.
And yeah, it would be easier to put them both on the same zone but - - - i'm too f%#ing stubborn. I know if I did that, the first false alarm would be in that area and - - - well - - - you know the rest of the story.
