Will Loud Music Guarantee Me a Louder / Worse Tinnitus?

[foryourinfo]

However, in future could you please refrain from using profanity (swearing). It looks especially bad in writing and will make some people wonder, what kind of upbringing a person has had, especially when they are able to see their picture.

It is good to hear that you are very well mannered and I understand the distress that you are in believe me.

Mr. Leigh - don't you think its time for you to get back to your elementary school teacher job? You would fit the role perfectly (assuming you could master basic grammar, of course):

@stophiss When tinnitus is caused by "loud noise" the tinnitus is generated in the cochlear, according to Professor Jasterboff. Not all tinnitus is generated in the cochlear but when the tinnitus is caused by loud noise, which is the most common, it is generated in the cochlear then the signal is sent to the Auditory nerve and up to the brain and into the Limbic system. It is here, the Limbic system grabs onto it and never lets it go. The limbic system is responsible for our emotions: love, hate, fear etc and that's why our moods (stress levels etc) affect the perception of tinnitus so much

"Cochlear" is an adjective (i.e. "cochlear disorder") but you are using it as a noun (i.e. "the cochlea") and you did so twice. I would appreciate if you would stop dispensing facts about tinnitus and the auditory system when you cannot spell or master basic grammar as it weakens the authority you bring to the subject. Thanks and much appreciated.

"The cochlea /ˈkɒk.liə/ (Ancient Greek: κοχλίας, kōhlias, meaning spiral or snail shell) is the auditory portion of the inner ear"

I have lived with noisy upstairs neighbours for several years and i noticed the noise just as much the day i moved then the day i moved in. I never adapted to it or had one single day where i did not notice the noise.

This I can relate to. My own reaction annoys me, but its always been there. Michael's reference to limbic attachment goes with more things than just tinnitus for some of us.

Oh, I'm so glad to annoy you with my bad grammar I'll do it even more now....

Who's your favourite classical composer Kelvin?

@Michael Leigh

To be honest I am still educating myself at what would be called the 'lighter' end of classical. It is a big leap from messes Slash and Co. I love film and so have been using Spotify to listen to some film score composers - Ennio Morricone, Danny Elfman and John Williams all sound incredible to me.
Long time fan of Pink Floyd and Neil Young ( thanks to my father ) and so they fill in the gaps when I want something a bit closer to rock. Also loving Jason Isbell and his incredible album 'Southeastern'. God I love music...which for me is one of the most awful things about T and in particular H. Still I make the best of the good days and go sensible on the volume.
Hope today is a good for you !

Hi @Kelvin,
You have a wide knowledge of music and I can clearly see your love of it. In time I feel your tinnitus and hyperacusis will improve and you'll be able to enjoy your music just like before. I'm not a classical music connoisseur just like to hear certain pieces and have a liking for JS Bach, Handel and Mozart. I am an Audiophile though, and at one point many years ago thought, I'd never be able to enjoy music again without listening to it through high quality headphones. Haven't used headphones in twenty years and now enjoy my music just as before but listening through speakers.
All the best
Michael

Don't do anything stupid. You are still in your early stages and you have the possibilty to recover completely. I think you can listen to loud music, not TOO loud, as long as it's not with headphones. If your tinnitus disappears or not I do not know, but if you are still at this forum in 2-3 months time I am guaranteed you will be feeling a lot better and you yourself will be surprised.

Thanks for the information. But, I have no idea as to how the definition of what the cochlea is relates to the dichotomy of a noun vs. an adjective. Do help me out if I missed the plot.

My T hasn't stopped me from loving and listening to music. I can still hear it unless the music is (too) loud, but I don't care. My T is of the "laser beam" variety, not that it sounds like a laser, but that it is so piercing that it seems to cut through everything except the shower. It sucks big time, but I can imagine my life without being involved in music, so when I got T I just dialed everything back (listening and production levels).

If I had H, I'm sure I would be singing a different tune (probably not singing at all).
