I've got 8000Hz tinnitus. It may not be an "ear problem" but who do you go to for the limited treatment options? An ear doctor. So duh. There's other types, such as manifesting itself as static, crackling, etc. I just constantly hear an 8000Hz tone. It sometimes get loud, sometimes gets softer, but it is always there. But I try to ignore it as best I can and just listen to the music. Wish they could figure out a cure but I've done some digging and right now, there seems to be only some low level, not very well funded research being done. Some think it is more of a sensory nervous system problem and not necessarily related to anything being wrong with your ears. Sort of like you are hearing your own body's nervous system background noise for some unknown reason. Anyway, we can hope that some progress will one day be made to turn it off or turn it down.
Incredible improvement in sound quality
Ok, I am an old fart with a stereo. But my system sounds so much better tonight. Why? I went to my doctor today, as I do every six months (one of my favorite people)… and he noticed that one ear had a lot of wax. So, he had his nurse use a warm water irrigation device to clear it. Wow.
I use some drops, and work to keep my ear canals clear. But, for some reason I was not able to clear my right ear.
So, wow. My system sounds so much better. Sometimes you just need a professional. Although technically you can buy these devices for a couple hundred on line. You need to realize you need to use it.
