Thank you, yes it plays .wav files... I dragged and dropped from the desktop to this little thumb drive voice recorder. It seems to be okay... it’s just my ears, and I know many more will have better success than I. ACEE DEAL Digital Voice Recorder 8GB, Audio Voice Activated MP3 Player with...

Anyone heard of this? I just happened to hear about these ear buds on the radio. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dopplerlabs/here-active-listening-change-the-way-you-hear-the Through two truly wireless, in-ear buds and a smartphone app, Here allows you to instantly control real world...

Thank you for the feedback. Ugh it’s so annoying, if only we had ONE area of professionals that truly understood all of this and knew how to go about rehabilitation, but we don’t and therefore it’s a shot in the dark for all of us. I didn’t have tinnitus at all before the ear infection 3.5...

In my personal view and auditory circumstances, you are onto a big thing here. How the young people today can listen to audio clips on their phones is one big mystery. The tinny sound drives my tinnitus way up. Maybe this thread should be under the Research News instead of off on the...

I've had tinnitus for 4 years and wearing Phonak hearing aids for 3 years. They help, sometimes more than others. I use two built in white noise programs and can stream audio from my phone via bluetooth and use Zen tones that are really helpful. I have high frequency hearing loss. There are...

...my music theory exam with distinction, but now it feels meaningless. Every day, I’m reminded that I can’t listen to music or any digital audio for the foreseeable future. Music was always intertwined with whatever I was doing. I’m terrified that I’ll never get better. I can’t work, I don’t...

No I would not do that, mp3 is lossy, the quality of Tinnitus Mix must be high quality to get the full benefits. They do make a cheap mp3 player that does play wav. I use a Sony UX-560 digital recorder that is very small, and because it has an equalizer, I can adjust high frequencies up and the...

I've been thinking the same thing, but I haven't made it through a whole night with it a decent volume, so I don't yet know if it works for me as is.

Ok, thanks, i will try to get it, although its damn pricey! U millionaire lol

Not sure if you are asking me? I have no idea. I suppose what I have is loudness hyperacusis? Else what, annoyance hyperacusis? Does annoyance imply loudness? I guess, as otherwise it would be just misophonia. I guess something may be louder, but not necessarily annoying. Well, all these things...

I bought this before I started trobalt or keppra and had hyperacusis. And it wasn't that loud. "Cambridge Audio has a long history of producing great-sounding kit that doesn't cost silly money and the Minx Go is no exception. With five speakers - two titanium, tweeters, two 2in woofers and...

@Alexandra Lehman I live in the UK so any audio equipment that I recommend may not be so easily available in the USA and vice versa. The first thing you must consider is how much you have got to spend on a HI-FI system? The comments in my post above I advise you to read again and read my post...

What if digital audio bothers us? Would high quality speakers help? Define high quality :)

Yes I'm the same and would love to start flying again too - especially to the US. I am contemplating a flight to Europe to test it before jumping on a 7-10 hour flight. It's an instant reaction and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. A database would be so useful - especially...

...to see you're hanging on. The setbacks are the true problem for us both. I have been living in almost silence. No sound therapy, no digital audio, and only ambient noises. To be honest I've done this twice after a setback and both times I started to stabilise a little after 3-4 weeks...

...one should do. What exposure is safe, which is not. It seems living a "hermit life" without exposure to mechanical noises (cars) and digital audio, but with a decent exposure to nature sounds (woods, etc), may be the only possible survival mode. It is just next to impossible to implement in...

Sorry to hear. It interests me, because I've worked with digital audio a lot and wonder if alternative mixes can be developed/tailored for those that Tinnitus Mix doesn't work for. The instruments (if you can call them that) seem to interrogate the tinnitus symptoms and bury them by provoking...

I hope you can find relief, head noise is so annoying. I have a good day maybe once every 2 weeks. I have bone on bone in my left TMJ and some neck issues. Did you have your digital motion X-ray at Caring Medical? I’ve read that C2 issues can cross into your hearing causing tinnitus.

OK, I've read what you have written and watched the video and it makes sense. I understand when the recording was made there can't be any information from the original signal above the Nyquist frequency encoded in the recording. However, I still believe a square wave is going to have...

...what TV set should I buy? I guess I'm pretty isolated without one. I can only get one radio station since they did away with the DAB (digital audio broadcasting) here. Is there some measuring instrument that I could use to test it out first, frequency measurer or such-like? Or what's a...

Tbh the answer to this is pretty straightforward. Some people heal IN SPITE of the fact they are receiving damaging sound "therapy". Others, unsurprisingly, get worse. I myself am one of those people. Ask all these auditory "professionals" to show you a single PLACEBO-controlled, blinded...

Hi @MadeleineHope, the first album I really tried to desensitize to was Chris Cornell's live acoustic album. I picked it because it is just vocals and a guitar, and I love that album. I can't remember what music I picked next. For me, the most important thing was to pick music that triggered...

Hi Michael, Funny how that works, huh? I was just talking to you about audio and now I cannot even tolerate half a song on my PC anymore. I took a dramatic turn for the worse and I cannot exactly pinpoint what happened but I went from being stable for the last 6 or so months to getting...

Hello All, Hope everyone is finding some sense of peace this evening and for the Holidays. I am new to tinnitus and had my onset on 12/14/2021 of moderate to severe tinnitus and needless to say, my holidays have been a nightmare between dealing with this crisis and trying to run from doctors...

Hi Michael, cheers for your response. Very sobering indeed. I am trying to get my head around how headphones could create further damage if you can achieve a volume of around 55 - 60 dB, which is considered the same as everyday conversation. If I use 15 dB musicians earplugs under my headphones...

Don't let yourself be discouraged by a bit of new vocabulary. If art and linguistics is what you're passionate about stick with it. I've tried so many different things / safe options and always ended up hating what I was doing because things were interesting in the beginning but got boring...

Wow... regarding the fact that this is just ONE of your audio systems. I had a quick overview and yes, that is really an amount of money you spend on your 'hobby'. Those speakers look interesting btw. So even if you have accepted the condition, can you hear the tinnitus while listening to music...

First off, I am truly thankful for your work as well as @Jack Straw and @Markku. The podcast is so well done, and really is a pleasure to listen to. Given the triumph we had over at STAT, I wonder if you guys have already recorded the Richard Tyler episode? Given the technology relationship...

...set of the speakers, and I purchased the streamer (which was the same model but was a 2nd generation which had a new DAC... which is a digital audio converter). The set that I borrowed I found didn’t raise the tone/volume of my tinnitus. But the stuff I borrowed seems to a little. The DAC...

Yes different mixes of Tinnitus Mix could very well be the answer, I have remixed it many times using feedback letters from users. The biggest improvement was when I put one part of sound file on left channel and another section of file in right channel (stereo) for the first 16 minutes of the...

Yeah of course, there are people out there like that but I don't blame them, sound design by itself is an addicting thing, even more so with analog gear. With the exception the latter needs hundreds, if not thousands of $$$ to build a decent chain. I was shocked when I first saw how much you...

...We need some objective way of measuring what a patient hears: not an audiogram, but some kind of brain scan that can be translated in a digital audio file which is perfectly translated into the sounds that the (brain of the) patient registers. Once that has been found, solid and clean...

HI @Pero1234 If you are passionate about music having a decent HI-FI system is a must. Only then will you realize how wonderful and engaging music can sound. If you want to be thoroughly immersed in your music as you were when listening to it through headphones, then please read on. Forget...

...(very thankful for that, much respect for those who are dealing with noxacusis). Previous minor setbacks were typically related to digital audio, giving me a significant direct loss in tolerance to sound. My tolerance now is still where it was, but am still shaky from the stress of this...

I'm curious as well. I have tried making different tones using not just sine waves but I've created "Notched" noise with 10Hz AM on top, makes it sound like a old style steam train passing by if you generate it with white noise.

Hi Samir, you'll have to give me a little more context for what you mean by "binaural fusion". The inputs from the two ear are fused at a very early stage of processing in the auditory brainstem. Our perception of where sounds occur in space arises directly from precise computations of tiny...

@friend74 Indeed, I am a very active Audiophile. At this very moment I am listening to one of my audio systems. I have two at home. I am listening to Larry Carlton's CD: Fingerprints played from my computer's hard disc and out-put to my Marantz SA11S3 CD player which as an in-built Digital to...

Thank you for your comments @Jazzer Alas, I cannot play an instrument but if I could the cello would be my choice. I really appreciate listening to some of the wonderful classical and Jazz recordings that I have on CD, Vinyl and via computer hard-disc streamed through my Digital to Analogue...

@PaulBe Actually I have the same. I absolutely cannot use a phone to my ear now. The very odd occasions where I feel I need to take a call I get a spike straight after, which is usually accompanied by by hearing going dull. I think that sound compression could be the reason. There is a lot...

Hi guys! I'm now just over 3 months in and it hasn't got any better I'm afraid. I still have multiple sounds which are fluctuating constantly. Intensity between 3 and 8 (mostly around 6-7). My good days are less and less :( I used to have a sound which was the worst, which sounded like an...

...you really only hear that thumping bass noise. It's not too bad or especially intrusive. So far I'm mostly only experiencing it from digital audio - like from my computer speakers or a TV. It's occurring with certain beats of music, or even when people are speaking. The sound of typing also...

...from my phone, laptop, or television. I no longer hear a flute noise over things such as running water, air conditioning, and my fan. Digital audio in general is sounding much better and less unintelligible, tinny, and distorted. The only thing that remains unchanged is the ringing in my...

I can only talk from experience. I’ve been to cinemas in the US and I’ve easily seen around 500 films or more at various cinemas around the UK. Since my tinnitus reached a new level in 2015, I measured various movies with a sound meter, all were none IMAX theatres. The highest I’ve ever recorded...

Our cases sound remarkably similar. Right ear only for me, but now tinnitus in both since this latest setback. Maybe try some neck exercises for your neck. I haven't started Carbamazepine yet, waiting for prescription. I will be starting on 200 mg per day. If I don't feel any effect, I will move...

Thanks for the reply, yes I’m definitely avoiding all music probably for a number of months... it’ll be a decision that I’ll have to make to ensure better health in the future. Those headphones were probably the stupidest piece of audio equipment I could’ve possibly been using for my ears from...

...of. It would fatigue my ears, and then I would be clumsy and drop things further messing me up. New strategy for now is: 1. Avoid digital audio. 2. Walking will be my sound therapy for now. 3. Try to slowly introduce pink noise or whatever from another room when I feel I'm ready to. Yeah...

See if you can try a pair of Siemens/Signia Primax 7px hearing aids. I thought they were great but too expensive for me now. They took away the noticability of my tinnitus more than any hearing aid. They program up to 12khz so you will need an extended audiogram plus someone who understands...

...not sure why - I messed up bad. Realistically, is there any way I won’t get a setback from this? It was way too much volume and the digital audio might have made it worse. I just want to be ok and I worry the only way to do that is to take my life. I pretty much ruined any chance of...

...of the blue, I started experiencing symptoms mirroring those of dysacusis and hyperacusis; sound distortions (namely when listening to digital audio, i.e. through phone speakers, TV, laptop speakers; sounds tinny, crackly, and overall just horrible, like shards of glass piercing my ears)...

...fairly loud volume. Not really sure I can pinpoint how or why and it doesn’t help that I specialize in home theatre, specifically Dolby Digital audio. Too late to change career but I’m now working off site. I have an apt with audiologist Monday to get some tests done and maybe consider a...

...went from loudness hyperacusis and just an annoyance with sounds to noxacusis by mid-July 2023 - dishes clinking, dog barks, even some digital audio - all sounded painfully uncomfortable. I was also a drummer in my youth (rarely used ear protection) and AirPods user - just for background. My...

Yes, I was in active daily 24/7 Tinnitus spike when it first came on in September; in November after 9 weeks of 24/7 T; I went to the ENT..I actually asked him, can you hear it when he had the stethoscope to my ear...he said, uhm, no... I don't know what has gone haywire, but I had dental...

...living a quieter life after it started. I ditched headphones immediately after this began, but maybe I need to ditch speakers and all digital audio too for a while? Not sure. Yep, all my doctors wanted me to take Nortriptyline, but I refused because I was terrified that it would just make...

...you did accidentally turn a knob all the way up while listening to a very loud 0dB signal (0db is the loudest possible signal in a digital audio system). For example, the hifiman HE-6 headphone cannot physically make higher than 105 dB with most amplifiers, and this is at max volume...

...because my ears were very sensitive and reactive. Then 2 months later I started going out for walks and doing sound therapy with digital audio. It worked well for the next 2 months, until my setback now. With hyperacusis, unless it’s very mild, I personally don’t recommend “pushing through”...

I realize that you are having a lot of difficulty at the moment. The fact that you are under the care of an esteemed audiologist, that specialises in treating tinnitus and hyperacusis is concerning, because it appears you are not making any improvement. Unfortunately, the information in your...

It seems likely you have been overprotective and making your ears more sensitive to everyday sounds. I only wear ear protection for drilling or mowing the lawn, etc. I hate wearing earplugs as the tinnitus ramps up to insane levels with them in. CBT could help your anxiety and catastrophic...
