speakers for listener with Tinnitus
There is no cure for tinnitus. Try googling tinnitus and Johns Hopkins or Mayo Clinic. Mechans is asking a question many other audiophiles should be asking themselves. Tinnitus can permanently worsen with repeated excessive exposure. My personal e... 
speakers for listener with Tinnitus
