    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    Just an update. Finished the steroid/antibiotics from the doctor this morning. My ears are unclogged for the most part. However, this ringing is still there. Right ear buzzing seems to have decreased by maybe 30%. Also started a regiment of Ginko and vinpocetine, along with drinking alkaline...

    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    Just wanted to update (hopefully this thread will help someone now or in the future). The fullness in my ears (pressure) is about 90% gone after the first 24 hours of medication. Not sure if this is a good sign or not. The high pitch ring is still there but bearable.

    Yes, there seems to be an issue for some people. It is my guess that it is not the volume level per say, rather the close distance which causes issues. Hopefully your condition will improve and we all learn to recognize and take seriously the warning signs.

    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    Hello Michael- This morning the tinnitus ringing is significantly lower and bearable, but it is still there. I also forgot my doctor prescribed Fluticasone nasal spray as well. My right ear still seems to be clogged or full, but the left ear is way better. Overall, it seems to be improving...

    Low volume for me means a normal talking voice level. I was just listening to Youtube videos, mostly documentaries, not blasting the volume, just on a normal level.

    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    Hello Michael- Yes, I researched and it seems there is a strong correlation between headphones and tinnitus. Also, after searching google there is large evidence that even at low volumes headphones pose a danger. My doctor has prescribed Prednisone pack and Kelfex. This seems like overkill...

    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    This is an interesting debate. Logically, you would think that headphones even on low volume would not cause a problem. I cannot prove it was the headphones, but the only thing different I did during the past week was use headphones to listen to audio. My doctor has prescribed me some steroid...

    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    Right now I am using the speakers. The reason why I was using headphones was not to interrupt my wife while she slept, etc. A few days ago I started asking everyone in the house if they were hearing a high pitched noise and they thought I was crazy (as usual lol). Who would of guessed it was...

    Thank you Michael! I will definitely read the information you have provided. Actually I used to play in bands for about 20 years so I have experienced tinnitus before which went away after a day or so. This seems much worse and its unbelievable that is was caused by headphones on low volume...

    I Think Headphones Caused My Tinnitus (Using Them 8 Hours a Day Working from Home)

    Hello all. Glad to have found this site. For the past week or so I have been experiencing a high pitch sound. Almost like someone left the tv on, or a piece of electronic equipment running. My ears feel like they are full and clogged. It is driving me crazy. I didn't realize the only thing...
