I can’t stand bug repellent. I’d rather get bitten. Honestly, unless it’s a swarm big enough to carry me away, I barely notice mosquitoes anymore. The one benefit I have found to tinnitus is when you can’t hear the little bastards, they’re surprisingly easy to ingnore.
Would a mosquito constantly hear a high-pitched whine? Possibly. Would they recommend not covering your tasty flesh with chemicals known in the state of California to be hazardous for all parties involved in a mosquito bite? Likely. But would they advocate wearing your ear buds as often as possible and listening at high volumes to drown out the sounds of insects? I have no idea and I am not suggesting it, but I’m just saying it’s not all down side.
I don’t agree about bugs/repellent but I do follow the same principle for sunscreen. I hate putting it on, I’d rather get burnt. Or, more likely, I’ll find a shaded spot and set up camp

sounds suspiciously like something a mosquito would say

One round of dengue will change your mind.
Or malaria, or Ross river, Japanese encephalitis, etc
