To Use Headphones or Not?

Hey all, still suffering from tinnitus but I'm coping better, sat here with it ringing away but it really doesn't bother me, it's weird how only few weeks ago I was in a mental breakdown and I couldn't see a way out. But here I am still and getting back to life best as I can.

Anyways I want to know is it safe to use head phones? Music is a part of my life and I still have been able to enjoy it but on speakers at a normal level or course.
But can sufferers use head phones? I want to have moments where it's just me and music. But I've kept well away from them due to the t. Is it safe if they set on a low volume? Also how long for?

I blame my tinnitus on loud music and this nasty virus ... But I knew I would suffer.

 

Hi. Glad you're feeling better.
I use headphones everyday. When I start to hear the bass come in, that's it, I keep it right there. Earbuds increase my T at the same volume level, I guess because they're actually in my ear canal. I stay away from them.
I can't believe I used to crank em up all the way and shake my head!!

 

Well that's one I've never used , I don't like anything that goes into the ear, so never used ear buds.
Always normal head phones. But yes I used to listen to the music rather high and I've been to gigs a hell of a lot so I can't say much now thinking back.

But it be nice to hear music as there's new albums by artists I want to hear.

And thanks you , yes I've come to terms with my t quiet quickly and I have faced the fact this is it now not much I can do but it doesn't harm me , just bloody noisy.
