It's more of a ringing noise. It's a common problem in my family. I've had it all my life and sometimes the ringing is so loud that it hurts and is disorienting. My grandmother doesn't use hearing aids because they also amplify the ringing.vibrologist wrote:If you expose yourself to high volume sound you will risk hearing a hissing sound all day long, no matter what: it is called tinnitus.
I know what you are talking about. Whether it is a rumbling, ringing or hissing is a question of the affected frequency range. I acquired mine most likely in my youth working in a factory that produced baby food jars, pickle jars and such. Imagine thousands of jars coming along on a steel conveyor belt. At that time nobody uses hearing protection.lannvouivre wrote:It's more of a ringing noise. It's a common problem in my family.

I know loads of people who recommend it, but no one who does it. I have worn earplugs trying to fall asleep with the washing machine running, and the ringing sound combined with my heartbeat sounding irregular every time I took a breath was almost unbearable.vibrologist wrote:I know what you are talking about.

I don't listen to it THAT loud, I usually listen to it halfway, or maybe a little more, but not too loud, I try not to be ignorant thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.vibrologist wrote:Do not listen to the music loud, but look for quality of the sound. That way your hearing will suffer less. At your age you should be able to hear the sounds of bats. At 40 that is over.
