Tinnitus is aggravated by volume levels and unclean sound sources and speakers. You need to play at a low to moderate volume with a very clean system and with clean sounding components for more short duration to avoid aggravating your condition further. I would suggest try a speaker with a more focused sound launch that is not too big as to pressurize the room too much it may allow to keep from offending your delicate ears.
Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz
I have tinitus and have had it for 30+ years. There is no cure and I know the best way to handle it is to ignore it. But lately my tinnitus has been going off the scale. The "lately" seems to have coincided with streaming Qobuz Hi-Res and listening on a PS Audio DirectStream DAC and pulling my Magnepan 1.6 out of storage. Now I have been known to play too loud on "A" song- but by and large the volume is down to where I could easily speak to somone in the room.
I have thought about maybe changing to to Harbeth, Dyn, Sonus Faber or other speakers more focused on midrange. But have also wondered if it is the high quality of sound that I am listening to that is perhaps stimulating my very high pitch ringing?
So, any fellow tinnitus folks out there with an opinion on this?
