they are indeed, all things that everyone can experience if they pay enough attention. floaters are the damaged bits of eye and detrius that float in the clear jelly of your eye in front of your retinas, casting faint shadows on your vision. there's also swimmers, which if you look at a bright blue sky during daytime, you may notice as tiny transparent circles swimming rapidly around in the sky - those are actually white blood cells swimming in the blood vessels of your eye, being faintly illuminated.
tinnitus is a very common condition of humans, caused by damage to the cilia of your ears, but most people don't notice it unless they focus on the sound. that being said, some people hear it and can't "unhear" it, or ignore it, though there are therapies to help teach people to learn to ignore it.
and afterimages can be caused by a variety of things - staring at a bright image long enough for an afterimage to be created, or medications like topiramate can leave afterimages like a white trail when things move. even certain fast moving things like cars can leave afterimages if you look right.
your best bet is to... well, stop paying attention to when you see it and not worry about it when you see one - its just a "boring" everyday thing that occurs. do that enough and you might wind up learning to "unsee" them and "unhear" tinnitus, though i realize thats easier said than done by far. it can be useful though, as learning to ignore things like this doesnt mean you no longer hear or see them - its just that you learn to not perceive them unless you willingly seek them out.

I only notice my tinnitus sometimes. Other times it's like a high pitched bees nest.
I didn't wear hearing protection for the first time till 23.
Unfortunately I can't blame an employer just myself maybe parents. Started shooting at 6. And parents had a shooting day every Friday the weather behaved. Though lots of days shooting from garage too🙃. Hot wildcat cartridges are loud 🥴 Fond memories
Also my parents had a machine and sheet metal shop. Free range thrre since mom was ready to go back to work.
Mixed feelings on that
What was I talking about.?
5 dollar pretzels get out of here!

I have all of these symptoms and wouldn't consider myself as having HPPD. I feel like the floaters and after images I've experienced since I was a child, however.
