Tinnitus worries...


I have had on and off periodic ringing in the ears for 30 years, (lots of live music) and back in March I decided to invest in a new home audio system, speakers, amp preamp CD player and cables costing about 7k, I have almost constant low level tinnitus now, my doctor says it's a cumulative thing and there is little that can be done. I hardly listen to music beyond normal talking decibels, and am very careful about any other loud DB exposure. Odd how the tinnitus became constant the minute I got my new system set up.  I guess this is more of a warning than anything else, so be careful!

I'm sure many of us have mild tinnitus from loud concerts etc. but I got it from taking Accutane. Anyway, I felt really had about it at first, but the good news is the mind is a great filter, and it really doesn't interfere with my listening, or my perception of low-level musical details. 
Much like surface noise on a vinyl record, you stop noticing it most of the time.
