Hey folks, just wondering if head-fi has a section dedicated to tinnitus/hearing loss/damage etc. A casual search shows some old threads but that's it.
Ever since treading around the HF community I kinda realised how valuable my hearing is. I see people blasting their earbuds in the gym against the background of gym equipment, standing beside speakers in concerts, clubbing where the state doesn't regulate noise levels (most regulations are probably public nuisance oriented instead of safety based); it kinda makes me think "what a pity".
As luck would have it I have a mild high frequency squeal in my ear now that sounds like it's sourced from my brain. And I doubt it'll go away anytime soon.
Has anyone here ever had hearing damage/tinnitus and managed to actually do something to restore their natural hearing? After all, organics matter the most in the end when you don your cans.
