In Reply to: "Tinnitus Effect"........ posted by Todd Krieger on March 22, 2021 at 10:01:26:
Every time I listen to music too loudly for too long, I get residual tinnitus. The severity seems to be a function of loudness and duration.
It's not so much of a problem for home listening because I rarely play my system louder than about 85 dB average levels. But if I've been playing my system moderately loud for a couple of hours, I'll have some low level ringing immediately afterward that goes away in an hour or so.
I've also sat through one or two audio show demos that were loud enough to leave my ears ringing a little bit afterward for long enough to spoil the next couple of rooms.
For me, the system and the music selection play a role. Basically, anything that makes me feel some listening fatigue is more likely to have an after-effect. Especially speakers with horn loaded tweeters that are balanced a little too bright.
What really gets me is amplified live music. The last time I made the mistake of going to a pop concert without earplugs, I couldn't even hear the music properly because my ears were distorting. I had very loud tinnitus for 24 hours afterward and it took 2-3 days for my ears to return to normal. These days, I won't go to any amplified performance without bringing ear plugs just in case.
