    Would Using a Subwoofer Be a Bad Idea for Someone with Hyperacusis?

    I made the switch from headphones to bookshelf speakers a while ago. They have been pretty great for quiet listening and I feel like my ears have been thanking me. However, I have been wondering, since (for the most part) I have been having very few issues with my hyperacusis with using...

    Can PC Coil Whine Worsen Tinnitus?

    Recently, I have been playing a lot more games and have become a bit obsessed with a game called Elite Dangerous. However, I have noticed that after playing for a few hours, my tinnitus seems to get quite a bit worse for a while. I think it is linked to my PC having quite a bit of coil whine...

    Using IEMs (In-Ear Monitors) to Block Out Noise and Reduce Occlusion Effect Vs. Earplugs?

    I tend to try to use ear plugs when going outside around traffic but the occlusion effect is a pain and i feel a bit self conscious about them. So I have been wondering whether it might be a good idea to use some vented in ear monitors to hopefully help to block out some noise and keep them...

    Tinnitus Has Gotten Much Better Since Using Speakers Exclusively Instead of Headphones

    For some background, ironically, I got VERY into headphones after getting tinnitus. It's been around 3 years and I had had 5 pairs throughout that time (2 of which I sold). It was something I really loved, it was kind of a hobby at that point. My initial thought was that I could keep my volume...

    Is Watching Movies with Headphones Okay If You Have Tinnitus?

    Hi, I don't often use headphones for music listening, however I am wondering whether movies with headphones are okay. I am not sure, as unlike music, there is not constant sound but there is often more dynamic range in movies than music, so there is more likely to be sudden louder scenes...

    Listening to Music: Are Open Back Headphones or Speakers Better for Protecting Hearing/Tinnitus?

    Hi. I was just wondering whether or not I should invest in some speakers for music listening. I currently have a few open back headphones which are fairly high end which I find very enjoyable for low-volume listening for an hour or two a day. However, I am unsure whether I should chuck them and...

    Tinnitus Triggered by School Bell (Rant)

    I realise that this probably sounds insane but around the time my tinnitus began, a couple of years ago, I remember the school bell going off literally right next to me (less that a metre). The bell was played through speakers attached to the ceiling of the hallway and I was stuck because it was...

    2-Week Tinnitus Spike After Headphone Use (for 2 Hours with Regular Breaks)

    Well... I guess I messed up very severely. My tinnitus was getting back to what i would call basically inaudible after having it for 2 years. I would sit in bed at night and it was incredibly quiet, almost like rustling in the wind, I had a lot of hope that it was almost gone. However, I live...

    Phenylpiracetam for Tinnitus Spike?

    Hi, I'm kinda new here. I have just been wondering about anyone's experience with phenylpiracetam with regards to spikes? A lot of people talk about piracetam, but not phenylpiracetam. They should work similarly, right? I understand that you can't take phenyl for as long but it is a stronger and...
