Dogs seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to predicting storms. Long before the skies darken and the rain falls, thunderstorm phobic dogs become agitated, fearful, and clingy. Before we know that a storm is on its way, our dogs may have felt it, heard it, or even smelled it.
How can they do this? And why aren’t they doing the weather on the news?
Canines are more sensitive to drops in barometric pressure than humans. Barometric pressure is the pressure of the atmosphere. A drop in pressure means that conditions may be ripe for a storm to develop. A dog may learn to associate this pressure drop with the arrival of a storm. Changes in the static electric field may trigger the same anticipation. Dogs may also pick up the subtle vibrations that precede a storm. A small rumble may be almost imperceptible to us, but not to a dog.

Distract her... According to the commercial, the sweaters work....I'm not convinced. You for sure can't baby her, because that nurtures her fear and makes it ok to react in such a way with thunder. I am empathetic, but being realistic, she may always be afraid of storms. She is nervous. Can't blame the dog. Try distracting her and correcting the behavior. Ex: Try teaching her a new trick when it storms. You can't ignore the problem for sure.

In tinnitus, the sounds a person hears are actually perceptions. Since there's no actual source, they are often referred to as "phantom noises". I read that about 8% of all people in the US suffer from tinnitus so you are not the only one who hears these strange noises.
Tinnitus is actually not a disease. It is actually a symptom of a problem that is rooted deep, somewhere within your body. The problem could be a simple one like an infection in the ear, or even simpler, such as ear wax. Just clear the wax and get the infection treated, and the noises could go away. In some people, it could even be the result of a side-effect of a drug they took. Or it could be more complicated.
If you want to know more about this condition and wnat to learn how to solve naturally your problems with these annoying noises you should read this ebook: http://tinnitus.toptips.org
It helped me a lot.

Not only your dog can detect if there is a thunder storm. Most of the animals has their own instinct for the calamity that comes like the earthquake or other. God gave them a special skills to warn people for the incoming calamity

Many animals can sense changes in the weather.
It's normally due to either pressure changes or changes in electrical activity they pick up on.
Many humans with joint problems can also detect these changes.
I myself can tell when heavy rain is on the way due to being able to sense the dampness in the air, and ofter pick up a smell of damp earth 5 - 10 minutes before it arrives.

Dogs hear at different frequencies to human beings, thus he hears the thunder far away before we actually hear it. Remember you have special dog whistles that humans cannot hear with the human ear, same concept here.

Barometric pressure changes, smell, and hearing. They're just more sensitive than we are. Dogs ROCK!
