How do you avoid tinnitus from headphones?

>How do you avoid tinnitus from headphones?
listening on 1/3 volume at max

What a fucking pussy.

Some noises are deceptively loud and hearing damage is cumulative. Do you ever ride a motorcycle? How about drive a car with the windows down? Both of those are loud enough to cause hearing damage (above ~100db) even though they may not hit the pain threshold for most people.

>and earwax.
the doctor can clean your ears

Fucking earwax

Show us which headphones
Also what a disgustingly and embarrassingly reductive title by some click bait scum blogger (who probably pretends to write in earnest and with compassion)

>damaged hearing from high dB and prolonged exposure, not tinnitus
No, noise induced hearing damage and tinnitus are clearly related in a lot of people, and it's the thing you probably can do most against.

If a brain tumor hits you or w/e, you probably didn't actively contribute to it happening and there might not realistically have been anything you could have done.

Turn them down you fucking retard.

Sure its related but you can have no hearing damage and still have tinnitus

Lay off the drugs and "meds". I've only seen Americans have it.

I was responding to
> Those precautions prevent damaged hearing from high dB and prolonged exposure, not tinnitus though
Even if there are other ways you can get tinnitus, that does not change that hearing damage from loud noise often *causes* tinnitus, and that this way is likely the primary cause of tinnitus pretty much across the world.

You can also get it without loud noises too, but that doesn't make loud noises unrelated.

dont play music too loud lmao its not hard
have sex

I had tinnitus since i can remember. You get used to it.

Yeah same I was born with it
Just get over it lol

Everyone has it, but the volume differs.
Also can't completely avoid loud noices because hummanity is retarded.

Same. I got it from working in a factory floor where boss didn't give a fuck about PPE's. Didn't even realize at first that the dB-levels were closer to 100 most of the day. I started carrying my own gear after a while and left when I got a better job offering.

there's different levels of tinnitus, like there's different levels of pain orders. from some of the accounts I've read (including another account of someone who killed themselves), serious tinnitus is constant unbearable torture.

Just turn the music louder than the tinitus

lol

When you listen to enough loud music, the nerves in your ear drums get damaged. This then leads to constant loud ringing that you hear

Yes, of course. Mine is pretty mild but it gets worse under stress and sleep deprivation but it's manageable.

A friend of mine has a constant loud high pitch tinnitus which is really stressful. He says it's really hard to concentrate on anything because of the constant ringing. On the plus side he can use it to tune his guitar.

It actually damages the hairs in your ear.

The brain filters out coming feedback. It’s when it changes that causes people grief

train your ears to listen at low volume. It feels normal very quickly, and then turn it up briefly to what you used to listen and you'll wonder what the fuck you were thinking.

I used to do the same thing, but with light

He probably just need to go see a chiropractor. Though, you can fix that problem yourself from just laying down on your back, putting your hands on your neck's spine just below your skull and manipulating things into proper position. Sometimes you can feel a bump on one side of your spine, just gently wiggle it back into position. Just relax all neck muscles and jaw muscles when you do it. Not all forms of tinnitus can be fixed by this, but most people can have it fixed or reduced this way. A lot of headaches come from that as well and can be fixed that way. It happens to me about once a month and I have to work things back into proper position which takes about 10 seconds now that I know how to do it easily. I get it because I end up in a bad position when sleeping and the pillow gets bunched up. My ears will start ringing and I'll start getting a headache. If I don't correct it, it can totally fuck up my entire god damn day.

>Tinnitus is a symptom of injury to the upper cervical spine. The most important thing to remember about tinnitus is that it is a symptom, not a condition. This means that the problem is not your ears, but another part of your body. Many times, the tinnitus can stem from a subluxation in the back or spine.

>kills himself

Seems like he had mental issues as well.

This is good advice.

Fucking americans... will they still be paying for snake oil in 500 years?

I doubt the US will still exist in 500 years, let alone 100.

Just listen to music at a reasonable volume you dumb shits. Why the hell do you have to blast your eardrums away?

Fuck tinnitus. I want a fucking cure for it

>How do you avoid tinnitus from headphones
I don't listen to musics at 9001 volumes? I work with a guy who plays his shit so loud I can hear it two desks away. Good luck with that faggot.

I also have floaters in my vision, you get used to that too even though debris is in your vision permanently

>tinnitus
Literal meme alongside shit like insomnia. How about don't blast your music through your headphones like a retard.

I can't believe it took someone this long to say this, jesus christ.

Just look at that face, I'd punch his corpse in hopes that he'd feel it

i have tinnitus since i was in middle school, the tips is just don;t let the silence kicks in

I got mine from a random ear infection.

Uhh....I'm really not sure what your country has for chiropractors, but where I live in the US they are just people who treat dislocations and usually have a masseuse on staff. Sports injuries are a big thing as are work related back injuries. They are also licensed and inspected.

don't respond to the baiter

English """""""""""""journalism"""""""""""""

I've had tinnitus since birth and I've never really considered it an issue. I guess growing up with it kind of desensitised me to it. I barely even notice the noise until someone mentions tinnitus. I guess some people must get a much stronger noise or something.
I think more people need to make an effort to think about ear hygiene. Most people don't do shit.

I don't listen to loud music.

constant sound of REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ing in your ears

I have floaters too but they're barely noticeable, and only when I actively look for them.
If they disturbed my sight I would kill myself instantly, tinnitus can be handled.

It is insane that chiropractic is still a thing. The entire US medical regulatory system is a joke.

Yep mine is definitely cause by sticky earwax. Guess I lost that genetic lottery

Tinnitus is largely psychosomatic. Read John Sarno's work, he's the only doctor who actually knows how to cure this sort of thing.

Tinnitus is a symptom, it says little about the underlying cause.

Get checked, if you don't have hearing loss or other symptoms, it's likely your jaw or your neck. Thankfully, it seems like the really strong tinnitus only comes if you have actual hearing damage (or serious problems like a brain tumour).

see

My dentist always asks me if I have a ringing in my ears, when I go in for a checkup. That is why. Thankfully, tmj isn't the cause.

Don't buy chinkshit.

Buy tested headphones that scale in a linear path instead of dynamic.

>DURRR how do I avoid tinnitus from listening to loud shit all the time she stuff gets quiet
Geee I dunno MAYBE STOP FUCKING PLAYING LOUD SHIT THROUGH HEADPHONES
What?

Tinnitus is one of those weird issues that gets worse the more you think about it and better the less you think about it. Kind of like sexism.
Seriously, the number one medical treatment to tinnitus is "just ignore it bro". Turns out the human brain is really good at filtering out noises that we're not interested in, and focusing in on noises that we are. If you think about your tinnitus all day, it gets worse because your brain starts thinking it's important and focuses your attention to it. The reverse happens if you ignore it.

>have sex
What if your partner screams too loud? Should you wear earplugs during sex?

How come over half of this thread is retarded? Tinnitus has nothing to do with your ears but rather with your brain en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus

I have never listened to loud anything and I have mild tinnitus. It can develop completely on its own. Blasting loud shit directly into your ears is the easiest way to get it, but it's not a requirement for it.

Shooting a nigger inside my house gave me tinnitus. You get used to it.

a small price to pay

i have it and im eastern european
though i also have visual snow
i guess i fried some of my receptors back when i took 5htp

Fuck I would kms too

I'm pretty happy mine is due to TMJ (and due to teeth clenching and not something like my TMJ disintegrating due to uncontrollable reasons), mine was only on one side, which is usually the telltale sign of a hearing nerve sheath tumor (but lack of hearing loss rules it out). Tinnitus due to TMJ, neck, etc will generally resolve if the underlying cause is resolved. No such luck for hearing loss or ear damage tinnitus, and if it's in your brain then we still can't diagnose what the cause is, so you're fucked too.
>the number one medical treatment to tinnitus is "just ignore it bro"
This is because it's too expensive to rule out causes, this is what they told me too initially, had I not gotten an MRI I would never have known and be left at "dunno just ignore it". If it's due to hearing loss or it's from something in your brain we can't find yet, then you have to deal with it until we can fix it, but I bet a large amount of people with non-hearing loss tinnitus could be properly diagnosed if they got MRIs or other further testing done.

If you're in Burgerland you might be fucked if you aren't rich, but if you aren't you should always push your doctor to refer you to more in depth tests.

Did it stop?

Genuinely thought my life was over for the first 3 months or so with tinnitus, but turns out my tinnitus is kind of "adaptable" and only gets extremely loud when I'm exposed to certain sounds. I realized within a few weeks that turning on the fan or something to mask the tinnitus just raised it to hellish levels, but tinnitus only stopped being a source of stress like a year later when took a car license and stopped using public transportation.

Still gotta go to the jaw specialist for the treatment (which will probably be sleeping with some specially made teeth guard for months and some other stuff), so can't say. However, if the underlying condition is resolved, tinnitus should stop (most data I can find online about it seems to confirm this).

that just sounds like what your brain makes for you in the absence of sound, at least it is for me.

Silence is not supposed to sound like anything bro
Silence is supposed to be just silent.

Together we must say a prayer to our frens who have had this curse placed upon them.

I have (minor) tinnitus and it doesn't bother me, it occasionally gets louder for a few minutes but that still wouldn't be enough to make me end my life.

mine is just mild so it’s not too bad
only becomes an issue when I lie in bed trying to sleep

I have tinnitus now but I definitely remember a sound that would creep up when I went to the bathroom late at night. It had to be pretty much absolute silence though and didn't really sound like tinnitus.

I know how to fix tinnitus. Apply electricity to ear, this will burn auto gain circuitry in brain, and you will have constant gain, so no noise

Anyone know what brand the headphones were?

>tfw had tinnitus since i was a small child due to mother having screeching arguments with her boyfriend while i was in very close proximity, a regular occurrence for years
THANKS

nope sorry, if only they had included that information in the article!

innit

Why do people even use headphones so much when decent speakers sound 100000x better?

Sometimes you get tinnitus from benign tumors on your ear nerves not necessarily loud noise

I didn't hear any ringing in my ears until this thread.

You probably never used good open-back headphones.

I remember a while ago, I think I cracked my neck and wrong and started hearing a ringing noise in my right ear. I didn't notice it immediately because u was listening to music but noticed when nothing was paying and I removed my earphones. I thought I was fucked and now had tinnitus in one ear. But what made it worse was it would only happen when I looked right. I don't know I did something but it went away after a few minutes.

You probably never used good speakers.

I have a modded HD 558 and I'll take my M-Audio AV42s over it, and that's even without a subwoofer.

kek

>speakers are better than headphones
>headphones cause tinnitus/hearing damage
Not surprised that you carry both those brainlet opinions, bet your IQ is below 100.

Are these referring to headphones or earphones?

Any constant loud audio causes tinnitus and speakers are certainly better than headphones at the same price ranges, I cringe every time I see a pic of some "battlestation" with 6 monitors and a rainbow keyboard and literally no speakers.

I had it in a really mild form for a while and that was bad enough. If it was something like then suicide would be a relief.
