"Now, don’t fool yourself into thinking that you either have full-blown tinnitus or you don’t have it at all—you can get a slight case. For example, you might only notice your ears ringing in bed at night. Once you have a slight case of tinnitus, your ears are much more susceptible to further damage. So, if you get tinnitus, it’s important to be much more careful about exposure to loud sounds." |
see, *that* is exactly why i don't like wearing headphones all the time (well, and they make my ears hurt after a while).
i bet you if i DO have tinnitus i got it from those damned shums (directly or indirectly).
i don't hear that high-pitched tone all the time ; just occasionally (it's a lucky thing, because it's REALLY annoying). so i don't know whether it is a case of minor tinnitis or just some kind of electrical whine that is not actually inside my head.
i still am looking for noise cancelling wireless headphones though, if anyone has a recommendation. i'll be careful not to turn them up too loud (i already am).
