Soundproof, it is always very interesting to read your posts, and I have learned a lot from most of them. 👍

I am sure what you describe in this post is a great experience, but I am also quite sure, that this is no good at all for your ears. I suffer from a tinitus for 7 years now, and I can only tell everybody in here to take care of their ears! Once your hearing is damaged, it is very hard to heal it...

ive had tinitus ever since i can remember , the older i got the more i got used to it, its only since buying a Beocom 2 that it seems to have changed, occassionally it stops altogether and then i start hearing voices

As far as I know, there are not therapies to heal tinitus. All the docs I have been to told me to try to get used to live with it. I tried accupuncture, which helped for about 2 weeks, and after that, the ringing came back even louder... 🙁

Do you have a healthy lifestyle? ie sleep at least 8 hours and sleep and wake up the same time everyday, exercise 3 times per week for at least 1 hour, eat healthily - vegetables, less red meat, balanced meals,  no bad habits - smoking, drinking etc. It is always worth trying all of the above when something goes wrong with your health. You don't have anything to lose, but you may be able to gain from it. I don't think anyone knows what causes tinitus, but living healthily is worth a try. I'm not medically qualified in any way, but just think there's nothing wrong with trying common sense.

I have tried a variety of speakers in this fashion, B&O and non-B&O. The BL3s are the best - probably because of their compact size, and the short distance from bass to mid/top. Plus the unique acoustic lens.

 

@ beodude: I try to live as healthily as I am able to, but I know that I could do better. It is very easy to notice, that after a hard night (with to much alcohol and not enough sleep), the ringing is much louder then normally. But I don't want to loose what I consider as quality of life.

My tinitus began after a Dave Wreckl (jazz-rock drummer) concert that was too loud. In addition to that, I was in a very bad heath-condition at that time.
