    I'm skeptical of the idea of making tinnitus worse at very low volume from headphones, especially if you take frequent breaks and such.

    What rumbling exactly? Personally I can hear like rumbling like humming, when I try to strain my jaw. But I think I have always had that.

    It would be unethical to expose people to these sounds, even with healthy ears. Yes, it is surprising this thread has been going on for 6 years.
