So I'm 74 during the day I am not aware of the tinnitus (white noise)sort of a low grade hum sounds almost electrical in nature. However, when I listen to music at any level that humm becomes a bit louder so much so I thought it was coming from my gear ( my system is dead silent at all listening levels just music is audible), that is until I turn my gear off and the buzz remains. Getting old sucks. I am doing nothing about it sadly I have bigger fish to fry.
Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio?
Over the last few years I have developed tinnitus and also have some hearing issues. I am a long time music and audio fanatic. Years ago I built my own Hafler amp. Before that I had a great AR system. Presently, I have, what I believe, is a pretty nice system in a dedicated listening room (about 60,000.00). My question is if there are others of you out there in similar situations concerning your hearing issues as they relate to your love and reproduction of great sounding music? What are your experiences? Have you found anything that helps and do you have any advice? I would venture to say that we all experience some degree of hearing loss, or hearing anomalies as we age...whether we realize it or not. Thanks, Jim
