I noticed I had a slight hissing sound in my left ear around 17 days ago, so I went to the doctor and he told me to basically avoid all loud sounds and avoid using headphones, which is understandable.
So, for like the past (well 17 days) I have avoided all loud sounds, ain't even thought about touching my headphones and have been gaming using my samsung tv's awful speakers... at low volumes. The tinnitus seems to have gotten quieter and I can't even notice it when I'm up/walking around etc half the time unless I focus on it, which can only be a good thing.
I'm going to be going back to see my doc in like a week, but until then I guess I'm wondering if any of you guys here have tinnitus and still use headphones... does it make it worse or anything like that? I can handle not listening to music through headphones fine, but the reason I bought them in the first place was gaming... and with MW2 around the corner... well I can't imagine not using them for that game.
Cheers for any input, and I won't be touching the headphones until my doctor gives the go ahead anyways.
