Since I last checked (about two weeks ago), I could hear 18 kHz with high-quality headphones at 7/15 of my Android phone volume. Since my tinnitus onset I avoid any loud noises for extended periods of time and I use headphones only once every two weeks to monitor my high frequency hearing. I...

I've used loud headphones for a bit, I moved lawn without protection. But still I don't really understand whether it all was purely my fault, or maybe we here are just a bit of ,,unlucky" ones. I never really went to any 120 dB+ concert in my life, never even got any warning ringing. Just...

The title says it all. I am not talking about standing next to a massive speaker for whole night or blasting your ears with headphones at max volume. I am talking about ,,usual" stuff, like not wearing earplugs at cinema (it's just weird, I can't imagine doing that). Also, is there anything...

Only once we were warned that listening to headphones too loudly may cause some hearing loss. As you expect, no one gave a fuck about it. Just 15 minutes with an ENT and/or audiologist could literally save a handful of lives. They could show examples of tinnitus sounds, tell us it may be caused...

Hi, first of all I really want to thank you for accepting me in there. I wanted just to express some thougths I have lately had. My tinnitus is very very mild. I notice it only on very quiet rooms if I focus on it. I used earphones for the past two years - sometimes for few minutes a day and...
