Christmas is not going well this year, and tinnitus isn't the biggest problem...

;) ;)

It's So Weird.....Even if I unplug everything, my house still sounds like tinnitus.

I have been curious as being in a quiet room makes the tinnitus seem louder, though I don't think it is in reality. I know that @Hazel mentioned in one of the Tinnitus Talk Podcast episodes that she actually used her tinnitus as her focal point, which is really a cool concept because maybe it's...

I was referring more to the bottom of your post. Which dedicated “legit” meter did you get from Amazon?

Oh no, I did not intend it to imply that at all. Sorry if that's how it came across. No no, but you did answer below. This above, is what I was and am looking for from most people as I navigate this new, uh, journey? As I've said, I've had this for 25 years, but back then, no way of getting...

Game? Easy on the flexing. Took that way too personally for a support forum. So correction, he did write that. But I don't think it means what it was interpreted as. I'm gonna do more sound pressure research for my own sanity.

I know the post above is from way long ago, but as I'm deep into this, what decibel meter did you get and what were/are your thoughts (heck, by now you may have something even newer/better)? Please share so I have somewhere to be directed to.

I guess that's pretty good for you as you can have no tinnitus and mild tinnitus at times, rather than my constant pitches. Do you have a good decibel volume where you'd recommend what's "comfortable" or "safe"?

This is not what @Jack Straw has ever said, nor does that make sense.

I'll ask the burning question in my mind. Do you still hear your tinnitus when playing music on your HI-FI systems?

Pre-COVID-19, I used to do Yoga but then the gyms closed. Now that my tinnitus has spiked and isn't seeming to go down, I was wondering about getting back into Yoga and adding Meditation. But my biggest problem is, with meditation, as it's quiet internal focus based, all I hear is that darn...

This is what I want to understand better. For now, let's put the earbud thing aside for a moment please. How can we listen to music through speakers in a safe way? What kind of volume. Perhaps expand on what you call "comfortable". I am an avid music fan, and not listening to music is...

But what is it exactly about using headphones/buds at low volumes (below 65 dB) that makes it worse? How is that different from being in a room full of people that rates 65 dB or listening to music from speakers that is at 65 dB?
