Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz


I have tinitus and have had it for 30+ years.  There is no cure and I know the best way to handle it is to ignore it.  But lately my tinnitus has been going off the scale.  The "lately" seems to have coincided with streaming Qobuz Hi-Res and listening on a PS Audio DirectStream DAC and pulling my Magnepan 1.6 out of storage.  Now I have been known to play too loud on "A" song- but by and large the volume is down to where I could easily speak to somone in the room.

I have thought about maybe changing to to Harbeth, Dyn, Sonus Faber or other speakers more focused on midrange.  But have also wondered if it is the high quality of sound that I am listening to that is perhaps stimulating my very high pitch ringing?

So, any fellow tinnitus folks out there with an opinion on this?

Oh, so now Tekton reduces tinnitus more than other speaker!
I suppose they can cure rheumatism and make a nice cup of tea as well.
Do go away.

Consult a doctor/audiologist, not Miller.

Hello
I too suffer from this condition and have found one thing that actually gives some relief and lowers the ringing 
Charlottes Webb cbd 
cbd is suppose to relax or dull your central nervous system and I believe this actually is how it reduces the intensity of the  ringing 
Try 25 mg dose and adjust up or down from there.  I take 60 mg every morning and it last all day
Hope this  helps someone

My experience is:

- Good quality of sound/equipment makes you play loud which results in increase of the hizzing.
- You can play loud inbetween, live with the hizzing afterwards but let your ears rest one, two or three days before playing loud again depending on how frequent you want to play loud. Then no lasting damage is created.

By the way way my tinitus was reduced to some 25% by a cure of strong gingko biloba over some months. Prescribed by a specialist in Germany whom I visited.

Retired physician here, you might try your local audiologist rather than a bunch of strangers. Science is usually a better approach. The plural of anecdote in not data.             HVAC
