The Frequency of Some Electronic Devices Bother My Tinnitus and Hyperacusis — What TV Set to Get?

[Joeseph Stope]

Let me start with the good news: by good fortune I bought a small radio years back which has a very mellow sound and I listen to it pretty much morning noon and night -- I use the afternoon to go out and so some shopping.

If there is occasionally a problem, it might be due to these telephone interviews that keep coming up on the current events shows, but over all I'm more than happy with it.

Then I bought a second hand TV. Long story short, the electronic frequency or whatever it is sends my tinnitus way up. I bought a kind of a sound instrument in Aldi but it only measures the dB and not the frequency

Even these young people using their smartphones to streamline some hit song drives my tinnitus into a spike. It's a mystery to me how they could listen to it... but then again I can't bear loud motorcycles or buses either.

Any advice on 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 good brand for a TV set?

The one I have -- that I can't use -- has the brand name of Samsung, the Korean outfit... or is it Japanese?

Yours All,
Joeseph Stope

Hi, you should go to one of those speaker stores and ask to customize a nice TV for you, to output the audio through your radio speakers.

I understand, my hyperacusis spikes with the newer sound systems as well.
