I can hear them all without changing volume enough that when i go back to the lower freq's it is much louder. Im 15.
I used my Livewires through the Behringer U Control USB.
Silent, and i can always hear a high pitched sine (not ringing) this is normal right? Just my ears searching for sounds? This sine masks out 17.4+ and makes them hard to hear, but i can just hear them if i stop it, then start it, it is noticable.
Is this very high pitched sine i hear in silence normal? I cant remember when it started, maybe it has always been like it, but i listen on low volumes, and stop turning the volume up when the channel imbalance on the lowest volumes go, and the soundstage is at its widest (maybe wider, but i dont like to go to loud). When i listen for it it is more noticabley annoying when its silent in bed.
Since joining i have used IEM's on low volumes, but i used to crank my CX300 canal phones up carelessly IIRC, but not as much as most kids max their ibuds too. I guess i have matured, and Head-fi has made me care for my hearing more...
When i go drag racing i wear ear defenders. I had to disable faulty smoke alarms (battery + dc power!) when going off about a year ago, and that is the only memorable time i may have damadged my hearing, but they had to be removed from the ceiling to cut the dc power, and my dad is disabled, so i had to do it....and stupidly didnt get my ear defenders out of my dads car, but i had been awoken by them both (upstairs and down) malfunctioning at 7am on a saturday morning, and woke the neighbour (semi-detached house.) They were hard to remove from their plates, and it took me a few minutes each. My ears were ringing afterwards, but it went away, just like i was told it would, just like after going to a loud concert.
I had impressions for my customs done, and the audiologist said my canals didnt have a problem with a lump of wax or anything, and i had the sine then too. Maybe she couldnt see far enough? I had my impressions taken to the second bend in the canal as per Earpeaces instructions.
Is my hearing damadged, or is this sine normal when everything is silent? Its not ringing, and not low pitched, but extremley high, and normally unoticable until there is TOTAL silence (eg. in bed/in a quiet room with my customs in)
Could the audiologist just not see far enough, and i have a lump of wax deeper in my canal or in build up deep in both canals?
Slightly curious about this.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
