Hey internet
i am a young teenager and am being frustrated by tinnitus.
over my life i have had many many ear infections which is one of the things i think has caused it. i also think my ears are now very sensitive after all the infections and i cant be exposed to lowed sounds much. it also doesn't help that i am a drummer. siting in a orchestra next to the timpany recantly made it worse.
i ( as a teenage boy) own a pair of big over ear headphones: http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom777-Gaming-Headset/dp/B003NVMDYY/
since i have started noticing it a lot more i have kept the volume down low. but even with the volume low or even off, just wearing them seem's to make the ringing louder. they do press against your ears but not very tightly but i still don't understand why its louder after wearing them. i am not the type to listen to very loud music through them but if any one can help me or explain why this is happening i would be very gratefull.
i get very annoyed as i am only 15 and shouldn't have tinnitus at my age !.
it has only recently got to the volume where i can just hear it when i am talking to people wear as before i could only hear it when in total silence.
please give me your assistance or info cos it has got me quite down.
thankx
