Hello,
This is my first post. I am a software developer. I used to work while listening on earbuds. I was listening 2-3 hrs a day with normal headphone on my Samsung Galaxy S3.
Since last few days I developed ringing in both ears. I got an appointment of an ENT. He cleared wax. Ringing noise in my ears have significantly decreased to 90%. But its always there. Doc said it will go away and prescribed eardrops which are supposed to pullout wax. My next ENT appointment is after 6-7 days.
I've not listened to headphone since last 3weeks but there is no change in tinnitus. So i am planning again to use headphone with low volume for lesser hours/day.
Btw, i use this headphone: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EIEYHK8?pc_redir=1409151623&robot_redir=1 . Which has perfectly balanced base and bright mid frequencies and it's low in High Frequncies already.
Ok, my point is my phone has Wolfson DAC, which has parametric EQ with 5 band. 100hz, 300hz, 875hz, 2400hz & 6900hz(with setting to -12dB - +12dB). With first & last (100hz & 6900hz being the cut-off frequencies) and rest frequencies are center frequencies.
So which frequencies are curse for tinnitus? Which eq settings of this hardware parametric EQ I should set that wont make my tinnitus worse?
Thanks in advance!
