Do you have tinnitus? (pg. 2)

i dont know if i had tinnitus but i know i used to get a major ringing buzz in my ear like 5 years ago wen i was younger. Im 16 by the way. I used to get it when say everyone was talking really loud in teh house or screaming at each other or something. Most annoying thing ever.

Before it drove me nuts when I was trying to sleep at night because my ears would just keep ringing. But you can make it stop (at least I did). Although it did take about a month of no DJing, no listening to CD's in the car, and no clubs. That month really sucked but no more ringing.

Then I got some Sennheiser HD280's because they cancel out external noise so well. So far so good. I've also been a little more reasonable with the volume levels that I play at home.

Remember: if your just spinning at home - its your house not a club -be reasonable with the volume.

i work in electrical where sometimes i use a meter that sends a high pitch tone when the wiring is connected....exactly the same pitch as my right ear tinnitis crap......i sometimes mess up the wires because i think the the pitch is there when its not!:rolleyes:

I was born with it.
been there all my life

Its like you know that tone you get when there is a CRT TV on in the room? I get that all the time.

Doesnt bother me to be honest, like i said i was born with it.
However, i have always worn ear plugs clubs when not spinning, and i dont tend to shove my head in bass bins at gigs either (not any more anyway).
Hasnt got any worse over time- still the same as it always has been

Certain frequencies really hurt tho- due to the constructive interference with it.

Look after your ears kids

I can still dj because I'm not djing on high volumes but I hear it all the time...my hearing is still good (2 hearing test) so I hope maybe one day it will go away /;

Don't waste energy hoping. Tinnitus never goes away. He'll be around annoying you until the day you die. :)

This is true, there is no fix for tinnitus, if you go out and keep bashing your ears with loud music, in 10 years you won't be able to hear properly or at all, and so that will be it for the music you love, invest in some earplugs, afew hundred bucks is not much to pay to keep your hearing, I plan to get some this year.

Freak, how come you never PMed me back, you not interested in selling a record?:sadgreen:

Yep, the only thing you can do is keep it from getting worse. It's a pity human ears are so sensitive, especially for us edm addicts. ;)

Forgot....

Last copy i sold went on ebay for a tenner- seems to be about the going rate at the moment. It is 100% mint as new.

I got it after I had a surgery in my right ear. I have learned to live with it as I know there is no cure for tinnitus. To prevent further damage I always wear ear plugs when I go out clubbing.

Earplugs doesn't help much.
Puts off about 20-30dBA which is nothing...

Well the thing is that now I'm very sensitive to high frequency but that has nothing to do with tinnitus,at least I think...

I'm been in 2 parties with earplugs and it didn't help me but I'm sure that if I stay away from clubs in the next few months I'll might be able to party again with earplugs...
