>>733719843learn to listen to things at low volume
>>733719843Whoever recommends earbuds need to be exiled. >EEEEEEEEEEEEEETry turning down the on earbuds themselves if they have an audio controller. Could just be the jack
>>733719843I use over the ear headphones and have tinnitus. Its kind of guaranteed if you listen with volume too loud which almost everyone does.
I've been using IEMs for 2 years, and they never gave me ear problems, unlike headsets.
Imagine being this retarded.
It's because the planet is starting to make noise and they don't want anyone to notice
i used a hd650 and paired it with jds labs o2 which didn't have enough juice to push the volume to the upper limits but had enough to still be enjoyable to listen with and i think that saved my ears
>>733719843You are not supposed to use high volume with IEM
>>733720128Beegz...Wedge...Jessie...
>>733719959>which almost everyone doesI've been listening with headphones since the walkman-era and do not suffer from tinnitus.Then again I'm not completely fucking retarded.
>>733719843yesit'll make masking the incoming suicide drone whine easier
>>733719843Afraid of a little gamer dent, pretty boy?
>>733719843It's way better to just use wireless earbuds. There's almost no difference in the listening experience, the earbuds themselves often limit input volume in a way that keeps your ears safe from getting blown out, and you get the benefit of not dealing with short wires.
>>733719843Are IEM good for 24/7 brown noise to bruteforce sleep if I have annoying neighbors? I will also use them for gaming as an added bonus.
>>733719843maybe consider turning the volume down to a reasonable level you dumb fucking idiot
Just be mindful of volume.
>>733720391So you’re not almost everyone, congratulations here’s you’re golden star.
imagine putting shit in your ears to begin with, fucking disgustingfor me it's bone conduction for everything that isn't voice communication, for that it's a gamer headset
>>733719843your audio port sucks. buy a usb dac.
An hour a day with it is good, use speakers for the rest
I just use this and my ears don't ring
>>733719843I boughted a chink shit in ear headphones, whatever they're supposed to be called. Expected them to sound like shit after my AKG headphones died. They surprisingly sound very good considering they only cost like €45.
>>733720930Depends how loud they are. If you're looking to completely block them out, unfortunately I think you'll have to really crank up the volume of the brown/white noise to a level where it's impossible to sleep anyway. Even if you can get a super airtight fit, any head movement while trying to sleep or sleeping will knock them out of position anyway. Try looking into memory foam earplugs instead.
>>733719950earbuds are fine, IEMs are not. I don't know how anyone can stand these little dildos having sex with their earholes. is it some kind of fetish? that shit is immediately uncomfortable.
>>733719843My ears rang before I bought my IEMs and were no better or worse after.
I have tinnitus but I forget I even have it most of the time, I guess I tune it out.
>>733722125Have you tried them? They're comfortable enough that I often forget I have them on. I just leave them on even when I'm not listening to anything.
>>733721752They manufacture the AirPods and the tech just got passed around.
>>733719843>he has to put in his cuck device to listen to things in his apartment*laughs in homeowner who blasts porn at full volume*
I bought a pair about 2 years ago and I haven't touched them since.
>>733722345I have and I literaly returned them the same day. for like 8 euros I got those earbuds that are meant for smartphones and they're absolutely fine.
>>733719843>has his volume too high>blames the device
>>733719843How many times are you going to make this thread? you fucking austistic nigger
I have tinnitus from festivals/raves/events from early 2010s

>>733719843Are you plugging into a PS5 controller? The interference out of those on my IEMs is insane, but nothing else has that issue.
I already have tinnitus from working in a noisy workshop with two compressors going off every 10 minutes so I use IEMs and headphones.
Anyone make good flathead earbuds?
are they ever gonna cure tinnitus, brosI was good and never listened to anything at high volume but got it anyways.
Over ear headphones.I don't give two fucks about "your gamer dent" or baldnessIEMs are for absolute faggots and also poor people
So any non retard can translate what the "EEEEEEEEEEEE " is supposed to mean?I've been using IEMs 24/7 for the past 3 years and never had any issues with them? Personally, I think they are way better than your typical headphones.
I haven't used earphones in years now but developed tinnitus 6 months ago out of nowhereI want to kill myself what the FUCK how do people LIVE like that
>>733728868Decent IEMs are literally more expensive than Headphones on average. And I mean actual IEMs, not some cheapest chinese earbud fake shit.
>>733728824Are you brain damaged? "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" is clearly OP talking about the sound you keep hearing when you have tinnitus
>>733727353Yincrow x6
>>733728948Sorry, I don't speak this zoomie/meme/nigger speech and usually people call it buzzing/ringing in the ear
>>733729156Brain damaged, got it
I don't have tinnitus and I've been listening to music at semi high volume levels for years now, I'm 26 yo, but now I stopped doing that thanks to all these threads that have been getting spammed after the cancer thing Thanks for beta testing the human ears I guess
>>733728868>>733728217>>733720987>>733720984>>733720239Congrats, you have fallen for the lie that tinnitus comes from listening loud volumes for long periods of time. The only thing that gives is hearing loss, we don't know yet exactly what causes tinnitus and it might actually be genetic rather than triggered from any behaviors. Up till now everyone thought that loud listening was its cause because researchers didn't want to admit that they had wasted stupid amounts of money with nothing to show for it. You were conned son. You probably took the vaccine and 15 boosters too
>>733729464>Congrats, you have fallen for the lie that tinnitus comes from listening loud volumes for long periods of time.But I never do that, retard. As I said it appeared out of fucking nowhere
>>733720391This, why do people insist on ruining their own hearing?
>>733719843Something has to be super loud like a gunshot to give you tinnitus. And even then you have to do it repeatedly without any hearing protection. Some fucking headphones aren't gonna do it they don't get loud enough. Gunshots on the other head are incredibly loud
honestly the dumbest tech trend i've ever seen and i've seen AI and NFTs
>>733729464>You probably took the vaccine and 15 boosters tooOh so the vaxx now ALSO causes tinnitus?What number of shit caused by it that /pol/tards believe we're at now?>blood clots>heart attacks>strokes>cancer>infertility>tinnitusWhat else? AIDS? Come on I gotta update my schizobook

>>733729249So instead of properly naming sounds you just imitate how they sound with retarded shit like "EEEEEE" like a fucking toddler? Maybe you should read some books?
>>733729939Tell me how would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
>>733720391Must be nice to not have friends that are inbred and can't adjust their mic, their own speaking volume, or stay a consistent fucking distance from their mic.I have hearing problems now because of two retards that would always screech so fucking loud randomly with their shrill ass laughs. They always had quiet mics for speaking volume because they'd sit a damn mile away from it and speak quietly, so you had to turn them up. Then they'd get real close and start cackling like fucking banshees all the time.My poor fucking ears man
>>733729139Thanks anon, I'll check them out!
>>733719843>>buy iems for gamingYou fool.
>>733729464Not my problem. Consider lowering your volume though :) :) :) :) :) :)
>Always volume 10d my nu-metal garbage since I first got a cheap shit MP3 player from ASDA in 2004>33 now>Not even a lick of any tinnitus or hearing problemsBuilt different.
>>733719843Turn down the volume and don't leave them on all day/night. You're supposed to still be able to hear stuff around you since these were originally made for people who'd need them for hands off communication, if you want to use them for music get a good quality one with noise canceling
>Physical isolation>Still listen too loudLearn to recognize when your ears get "tired"You only have one set of ears, don't count on some miraculous discovery coming down the line
>>733732932>Learn to recognize when your ears get "tired"How do you know?
>listen to sounds>get tinnitus>AAAH THIS IS /V/ FAULT!!!XDDDI don't get it
>>733728941But cheap IEMs sound as good as 100 costing headphones so you don't need to buy the expensvive ones... caring about high end audio is just kinda meme. You get used to the "bad" quality and it's no longer bad, and if you watch Youtube, Twitch and play some random slop games most of the sounds you are hearing will never have hifi quality to begin with.
>>733719843I think it has to do with mids being too loud or occlusion effect making people raise the volume like environmental noise does>>733722125It has to do with ear canal shape and wether the eartip shape allows for a comfortable seal without causing overpressure>>733729464>we don't know yet exactly what causes tinnitusno we do even for less obvious causes, not the exact mechanisms but we absolutely do know ANC can cause temporary low freq tinnitus loud enough to cause PTSD for example.For IEMs i'm not sure however.>>733729671Vaxx can cause exactly the same pathologies as the virus, the only question scientists should focus on is wether it's the mRNA, the reproduced spike protein or the other bullshit they put inside the liquid
>>733719843Why are IEMs recommended now? I tohught headphones were the way to go because of their soundstage
>>733737498Soundstage is some meme spread by the audio autists. Knowing if the sound came from 10m away or 20m away doesn't really matter, or if the sound came from 120 degree angle or 130 degree angle. You just need to be able to tell left and right and your brain does the rest, make it more "accurate" and it becomes busy sounding.
EXCALIBUUUUUUUUUDS
>>733732142>33 years old and posting reaction images from children's cartoons on 4chanThe damage skipped your ears and went straight for your brain
>>733733534When you turn the fucking volume down and the pressure goes away.
>>733737498>good low freq isolation without ANC's white noise>good audio quality for cheap, much easier to design "correct" sounding IEMs than headphones>compact and very portable>somewhat fashionable if you're into that(so are headphones but in different ways)That's about it
>>733719843Iems with a proper seal can be used at lower safer volumes because you don't need to drown out ambient sounds. Two generations of apple user gave themselves tinnitus using air pods and those shitty wired apple iems because they cranked up the volume to not hear traffic. Traffic is already loud enough to damage your hearing if exposed for more than 8 hours, so something even louder than traffic can fuck your hearing in less time.
What the fuck kind of hearing damage do i have where the 3k to 9k range just needs to be EQ'ed down on most iems otherwise near immediate fatigue sets in? The only time i hear any EEEE is when I am super stoned, or I'm in a dead quiet room. Even then, super faint, only notice if i sit and focus.
>>733737498IEMs are something you can carry in your pocket.
My tinnitus is faint, it sounds like crickets chirping from far away. I'm kinda lucky because I can live with it. Didn't even know I had it until last year, just thought I lived somewhere with lots of crickets until I took a red eye flight from Miami iand still heard the familiar sound of crickets even when I plugged my ears.
>>733736607>Vaxx can cause exactly the same pathologies as the virusYou're just wrong lol. The vaxx won't give you permanent lung damage and reduced capacity, for example. Not to mention the myocarditis was blown completely out of proportion and was not only transient (recovering withing weeks) but also extremely rare - around 6 cases per million doses. We've had BILLIONS of people vaxxed with mRNA vaccines years ago. Where are all of them dropping dead from blood clots and heart attacks?
>>733729464my tinnitus came from using an angle grinder on a parabolic dish without earpro like a retard, so it was definitely the loud noise

>>733741083>less than 400 applicants>SELF REPORTING ONLINE SURVEYspeaking of linus tech tips wannabes...
I dont mind iems for music or watching something (although I almost never listen to music and barely watch youtube). But the problem with them is that you hear your voice resonate in your cranium when you speak. So for multiplayer games that require you to speak, its just a big no no. It gives me a headache in less than 2 minutes of constant speaking if I am wearing iems.
>>733741574You think pfizer's would have asked their patients to fill a survey when their viagra medecine already causes eye strokes and they are among the most infamous big pharma billion dollar company ever?post vaccine and post covid symptoms are well recognized, stop defending the billion dollar company like a good israelite.
>>733741083>A comprehensive survey was administered to 372 individuals who reported new-onset tinnitus>yo bro did you take the vac? yea you got tinnitus because of it, can't be coincidence
>>733742368have you considered that both covid vaccine administration(and/or its boosters) and the covid-19 virus itself can provoke tinnitus among other health problems? without preference for one or the otherif you trust the vaccine this much then would you be willing to inject yourself the vaccine and its boosters every few weeks to prove that it doesn't cause tinnitus or anything?
>>733743438have you considered that self-reporting online surveys with extremely low sample sizes may be inaccurate and prove zero causation?
>>733740585>Where are all of them dropping dead from blood clots and heart attacks?Literally every single death that's not a murder or an accident, /pol/tards say it was caused by the jab.Just look at any RIP thread of someone famous on 4chan.
>>733719843is there a version of pic related with ear hooks and no silicone tips? I genuinely hate how they feel
>>733719843I absolutely hate sticking things in my ears. I only use over ear headphones and earbuds that clip on or around the ear instead of sticking inside.
bros how do you lessen the ring. Tapping the back of my neck doesn't do much anymore.It just suddenly comes in focus at quiet moments and overtakes every other sound.

Guys, you shouldn't use the headphones for too long, remember 60/60 rule, 60% volume and 60 minutes, then rest.Have met a lot of young people with hear impairment thanks to using headphones all day.
>>733744916"60% volume" means absolutely nothing. it's gonna be a different loudness level depending on things like monitor sensitivity, impedance, amplifier strength, etc
>>733719843>listen to /v/Why would you think the same people who tell you KYS over the slightest difference in opinion would have it in their best interest to give you good advice?
when will someone make an IEM that has a cable that lasts longer than a month before the cable stops transmitting audio in one ear
>>733747446Treat your IEMs better
>>733747473I treat them pretty well, are you telling me to take them out to dinner or something, massages and shit
>>733719959it's only guaranteed if you're a retard who wants to get tinnitus. the vast, vast majority of people do not have tinnitus, and the only people that do are retarded people desperate to self-harm
>>733719843get an external dac, your headphone jack probably has too much interference
>>733747880Everyone has it in silence
>>733719843Got my first pair ever just yesterday. I'm enjoying them so far, but I'm a big dumb idiot and it took me a solid 5 minutes to get them plugged into the proper L/R sides and oriented the right way.
>>733736607>It has to do with ear canal shape and wether the eartip shape allows for a comfortable seal without causing overpressureAlso the material. So many eartips are itchy because they're hydrophobic. I swore off IEMs until I tried silicone eartips.
I have TMJ pretty bad so it's natural
>>733738854to be fair, digital circus isn't a kids cartoon. be real here.
>>733737498Headphones give you this, using them more than 12 hours a day is bad
>>733719843works on my pc
Switching to IEMs was the best decision I made regarding desktop audio. No more dent, no more glasses being in the way.Just get good eartips that actually fit your ears and use *low* volume. If your hearing is already fucked you're screwed, but if it's not, just set it real low and eventually that low volume is going to start sounding properly loud enough.
>>733756620I've been wearing the same HD800S for exactly 10 years everyday, 8-12 hours a day. I still have a full head of hair. Balding guys always have some sort of weird cope or thing to blame it on. But it is only one of two things; DHT allergy or living an extremely low quality lifestyle (nutrition deficit/extreme body stress/extreme obesity/etc). Typically the former and not the later. Either put some minoxidil on it, take finasteride (and risk man-tits), or shave it (like a real man) and stop coping.
>>733729671Not my problem, I'm pureblood.
>>733756620That was caused by a hydrophobic headband.
>>733729671>he doesn't knowNobody tell him
So are these things meant to look like GLaDOS or..?
my airgun exploded in my room and now I have tinnitus that never ever ever ever goes awayi want to die
>>733719843Does your IEMs use a Balanced Armature driver by any chance?IEMs are basically the same as earbuds, so loudness shouldn't be a problem.But a BA driver? That's the tinnitus express
>>733719843You either wired studio headphones or not at all. Everything else is long term damage to your ears.
>>733753841No, it's still shit tho, made be troons none the less.
>>733740795that's my chronic tho
I've had tinnitus ever since I was but a wee lad, I don't really see the issue
>>733764598I don't feel like spending 2k on a pair of headphones
tinnitus is a mental issue, everyone can hear a buzzing if they sit in a completely silent room but if you stop focusing on it it will just go away
>>733719939/thread
>>733719843I have tinnitus since I was 15yo and I almost never used headphones/earbuds during my lifetime. Seriously I must use it like 10 times during the whole year. It developed after a bad ear infection
