Hi. I've been experienced pressure on eardrums for the last weeks that can be (very) slightly painful on very seldom occasions, specially on the left one.
However, I don't experience ringing on my ears unless it is middle of the night and I'm trying really hard to find it (It might be even psychological, it is barely noticeable and I think that actually is almost my imagination), which is good. I'm limiting my headphone listening these days and it is really painful to live without music.
Did anybody experience this before? Just pressure on eardrums and a tad of discomfort, without pain or ringing (for now)? Does it goes away soon? Does it come back?
I must say I listen to really really (really) quiet volumes. People use to say they can't listen much when try my headphones. And I'm always complaining about the unbalance of the pots at the volumes I'm listening (that's why I need to use volume reduction at preamp and amp stages). The problem is that I listen for long periods of time.
It might be the SR-Omegas. I think it is the best headphone I've ever tried (and I thoroughly tried them all the high-end ones) but I just can't stop listening to them and I think they are more fatiguing that (let's say) the OmegaIIs.
I've been limiting my headphone listening these last couple of weeks but the pressure is still there. Even having only a few minutes at day at ridiculous low volume levels doesn't make a difference.
I'm quite concerned about it and I've been seriously considering to sell most (if not all) my headphones lately (2 SR-Omega, 2 PS-1, L3000, L3000G, R10 late production, Qualia, K1000, Baby Orpheus...) and some other gear too (DHA3000, V20...). It's been quite hard to get my hands on some and it would be painful to get rid of them.
Hopefully after giving some rest this will go away (and not come back) but I was wondering if somebody else had the same issue and how did deal with it (and what were the results).
Any feedback really appreciated. Cheers.
