yup, you can definitely blame the long duration of loud music causing tinnitus. It is highly recommended that you do what Skylab has suggested in his post above, nothing over 80dB and your guaranteed lifetime headphone listening. My mistake was that after a night at the clubs, the next night I...

with everything in life, theres always danger, like money to the OP, Im pretty sure the permanent ringing has been caused by your new headphones. How I know? It happened to me, a night of clubbing followed by the next night of listening to my headphones for 2hrs around 80-90db peak (ratshack...

I guess some frequencies that are prominent with the use of the amp might of "awaken" your tinnitus? Just a thought. I do know that putting on my DT770 and using them to listen to music at the lowest volume triggers a ringing sensation in my head. However, funny thing is, I decided to play the...

If you are going for that Silverstone case, I heard that there are 80mm Yate Loon fans that are supposedly great for quietness, dont know about the cooling potential of it though. Besides that, have you thought about the CPU cooler and Power Supply? As they do have an affect on the overall...

as the above have mentioned, back up whatever onto an external hard drive or burn important files. Reason being is that data on Raid 0 are "stripped" and you cant copy or re-arrange files within a hard drive on such setup (Not with windows anyway). Theres no point in having half the file If...

I find myself sleeping way better if there is zero lighting in my room and no sound! Despite having the tinnitus, I actually prefer a silent background for sleep and I just try to dream myself to sleep (if that makes sense). After an appointment with the ENT, I feel a bit more relieved about...

Best of luck to you. I just visited my doc a few min. ago and sadly there seems to be no earwax build up or an infection causing the tinnitus, therefore it seems like my tinnitus is there for life. Im goin to see an ENT Specialist tomorrow morning so Ill wait for their final say on my problem.

Yup, I've also done some damage to my ears. Went out clubbing on the weekend, ears have been taken a beating at the dam loud speakers, wake up the next day didnt think it was prominent so I used the Beyer DT770/80 for 2-3 hrs at about 80-90db at the night (measured using RS SPL Meter), took them...

another owner of a Dell 2405FPW. I WAS an avid gamer but gave it up because I couldnt afford new parts for the latest games *back then CS was cool, now.....* Anyways, before owning the Dell LCD, I was running a Mitsubishi 19" Aperture Grille CRT. Running games off that monitor was smooth and...
