This tinnitus sufferer's discovery.

I've had tinnitus most of my adult life, to various degrees.. probably not severe but certainly annoying to an audiophile, and somewhat interfering with my ability to enjoy my system's sound.
In the last few years I've developed an occasional sound in my ears that reacts to higher volumes, especially with high frequency instruments and voices. When the music is soft, it's not there, but when it becomes louder, there is a slight overlay to the music that sounds kind of like the crinkling of aluminum foil (for want of a better description).
What I've discovered is, that when this condition appears, listening on headphones, instead of speakers, helps reduce the effect of the tinnitus, and let's me enjoy my music to a very high degree.
Just wanted to get that out there for other audiophiles with tinnitus.
