Interesting thread. I've got a touch of something like tinnitus. Long hours staring at the computer monitor and or TV causes like a ringing in my ears, and not getting enough sleep also affects this. A couple of days away from viewing anything reduces or eliminates this. I don't listen at loud levels, certainly below 75db for the most part. I do have some hearing loss too.
Tinnitus
I have recently developed tinnitus in my right ear; high pitched whine accompanied by a feeling of intermittent stuffiness in that ear. I went to an ENT doc and had an audiologist work up. Turns out my hearing is still good, overall: some high frequency loss in the right ear but overall not bad.
I have read some of the other tinnitus threads on A'gon. I am feeling afraid right now that this ailment will "ruin" my enjoyment of this wonderful hobby.
I am interested in how others of you with tinnitus are doing with your audiophilia. Are you still able to take pleasure in listening to music on your systems?
Thanks. I guess I just need some encouragement.
