Does Tinnitus Affect Your Ability to Listen to Music?

Does tinnitus affect your ability to listen to music?
I'm sure everyone's situation doesn't match the choices exactly - but closest works..

I like listening to music, just not too loud. I've noticed that when I listen to my fav's that the ' chill down the spine' feeling is really intense.

I never liked 'loud', so I don't really need to turn it down much. But sometimes my tinnitus is a little louder than usual, which makes me a little more tired, and doing something hearing-related such as listening to music is just less appealing.

I like listening to music and even more when find it hard to consentrate on the tv or hard follow a story in a book.
As always keep it at a medium to low volume and like treat myself to a new download when my ears get me down....lots of love glynis

More so than that, it affects my ability to enjoy music. The ultra high pitched tinnitus just competes with music.

I love music but the tinnitus always competes with the music when I listen and sometimes spoils it.

I definitely watch the volume knob a lot more now, especially with the car windows open. I'm starting to rekindle my enjoyment of music 14 months after T onset. It helps a lot more now than in the early days when I was more afraid.
