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!

The best suggestion I have is just accept that you have tinnitus and pay as little attention to it as possible. My tinnitus bothered me much more when it was at a much lower level than it's at now. Then I decided I just had to accept that it was going to be part of my life and I had to stop letting it bother me or it would drive me nuts.

I can listen to my stereo or even sit in a quiet place without noticing the ringing. I only notice it when I think about it, like right now, but I just try to focus on something else and before long I’ll forget about it.
