Tinnitus

Rebbi, just so.
Science is just now discovering that almost everything is just a brain thing.

I am a 76-year old audiophile and I still enjoy all the music I can get even with tinnitus AND hearing loss (I just turn the volume knob a bit more!). Like Roxy54 and Photon46 said, it's all about your mental attitude. I'm not bothered by it at all unless I think about it, which I normally don't. And, please, don't stop enjoying the grace of life.

I'm 79 and agree totally Vladamir. God Bless .

I blasted my ears playing in bands for decades (since around 1967), still work on my electric guitar chops likely a little too loudly because well designed tube amps are so satisfying, ride motorcycles, and get slightly overpaid to run sound at live jazz shows (just did a Fred Hersch show a couple of days ago...GREAT trio...one of the best ever maybe....see 'em). Although I use a full face helmet, I use earplugs if doing a longer distance ride as it's insane to ride a bike fast without hearing protection. Wind is really loud shit. My ears have been ringing forever and I suppose I'm simply used to it, but I can still mix shows and enjoy hifi...as hearing gets worse with age your brain compensates somehow, and things seem to sound fine...plenty of geezer sound professionals out there.
