Eargasm touts theirs for that purpose: https://eargasm.com/products/eargasm-high-fidelity-earplugs?variant=44275577225517 I haven’t tried them myself.

I'm in a similar boat. I posted a year ago in this thread about how I had been a long-time Mac user who defected to Windows, but with the arrival of the M2 Mac mini, I defected (refected?) back. I said in that prior post that if anything sent me back, it would probably be photo management, and...

For whatever it's worth, Dragonmilenario, I never got the impression you were posting in bad faith. I wouldn't have bothered posting anything myself in this thread if I had because I just don't have the patience. I tend to lurk in Sound Science and not much anywhere else on Head-Fi, but I don't...

As others have alluded to, inadvertent cueing is a possible/likely cause here. In experimental psych it's sometimes referred to as the Clever Hans effect (see the link for background). No matter how hard you try to control it, no matter how much you may think you're being "honest" and not...

And just like that, the LCD-XC is sold out. At least I know one of them is mine this time! I actually live like 20 minutes from Audeze. I don’t suppose they let you just come pick them up when they’re ready? 😆😆

Oh, man. I might be in so much trouble now. The LCD-XC popped up on the Black Friday page today and I couldn't resist. I told myself I wouldn't get anything higher than the LCD-2 Closed, but those sold out in under three minutes on the first day, and there were no LCD-XC models before today. But...

Ugh! LCD-2 Closed already gone three minutes in. I guess I didn't check out fast enough.

Is this posted somewhere publicly yet? I don't see it in the database, and I'd like to see the EQ settings.

Here are some of my go-to demo tracks. Steven Wilson, "King Ghost" Led Zeppelin, "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" - A surprisingly intimate recording, you can actually hear Robert Plant's lips parting and his tongue coming away from the roof of his mouth in spots. Genesis, "Squonk" Jerry...

I use my Aeon RT Closed (almost the same model) with a Schiit Magni Heretic. Works great. I use medium gain most of the time, and if I go much past noon or 1 o'clock on the dial without EQ -- or 2 o'clock with EQ -- it'll get too loud for me. I wouldn't think most people would need high gain on...

I usually lurk here, and I debated saying anything in this thread because, frankly, I don't want to have a discussion with people who question the basics of 802.3 specifications and implementation any more than I want to have a discussion with a flat earther. That said... I will post this...

I don't think so, either. That's what I was getting at in my first post above (second paragraph). I don't see how a sound has a "phase" if it's a neurological symptom rather than an otological one, so I don't see why the articles even bring up active noise cancelation.

Well, there is no cancelation sound without something to cancel. Then it would just be a tone, and the phase would be irrelevant. As for determining the tinnitus frequency, you can do that with a reasonable degree of precision with a tone generator and simple matching. Mine hovers around 3800...

So if I'm following you correctly, you're suggesting playing a tone through speakers at the tinnitus frequency, then using ANC to cancel that tone through headphones to see if it relieves the tinnitus, yes? Assuming the ANC was working 100%, I would hypothesize that the tinnitus would still be...

But isn't the reason the noise canceling sound isn't heard due to the fact that there's a sound to cancel? If you play two copies of the same tone simultaneously with one of them 180 degrees out of phase from the other, they should cancel out. If you're only playing one of them, you would still...

I'm intrigued but confused about what they're claiming. This "second eardrum" they mention seems like it would simply be attenuating the amplitude of the sound waves, possibly unequally across the audible spectrum. Wouldn't that be something that could also be accomplished with volume limiting...

These days I kind of hate all of them. :) I used to be a fairly devoted fan of the Mac and used them as my home machine for about 25 years. I had good reason to prefer them since I worked primarily with Windows machines professionally (maintaining servers and associated networks), and I knew...

The notch therapy I mentioned above is meant to be an alternative to masking, e.g., "Notched Noise Therapy . . . presents wideband sound with the tinnitus frequency region notched out, theorized to distribute lateral inhibition into the notched frequency region to suppress neural activity...

Replying to myself here for context. I'm due for a hearing aid refresh and, in the process of researching a bit, discovered that the manufacturer of my current hearing aids, Signia, promotes something called "notch therapy" for tinnitus. As I understand it, they amplify the things that need...

I have thoughts on this, but I want to emphasize that I can only speak from my personal experience and have absolutely no expertise to back me up. Take everything I am about to write with something way bigger than a grain of salt... maybe, like, a giant salt lick. I have tinnitus, fortunately...

Interesting. I noticed this in mine, but it didn't seem to be causing a big problem for me, so I ignored it. After watching his video, the technique of twisting the foam and pulling the cover over actually worked for me. We'll see if it stays. If it gets to be a serious issue I'll contact them...

I would be interested in the USA. I’ve heard them briefly in a noisy environment, but never well enough to form a solid opinion.

If I had that level of satisfaction with a pair of headphones, I'd be happy to be done! Honestly, given that the HD 58X is a Drop exclusive (unlike the 6XX, which is also available as the 650 for more money), I'd probably spend the money on another HD 58X, or even two of them! Then you have...
