I've had the condition in my right ear for over 30 years. The intensity varies every day and is usually loudest at night. It basically lets me know I'm still alive. It hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for my hifi rig or live music shows. So, run some sounds in your bedroom at night ( I use a fan) and you will adapt eventually to living with it.
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
