See what your headphones' decibel limit is and adjust yourself accordingly, make it so you get no more than 80dbs of sound. I always keep it to 80-90% of the volume, for example. Your ears naturally adapt to the amount of sound. I haven't got tinnitus in eons.
It's a disease with little to no cause besides genetics that can come out of nowhere and have no control over, CAUSING tinnitus. Meaning that tinntius isn't just caused by people who wear headphones or hearing damage. >still using the "it's rare so it doesn't count" argument You're a legitimate retard.
Michael Thompson

Dylan Ortiz
except none of you have that disease so your argument is invalid.
>80-90% volume >80db What the fuck are you doing? That's way above acceptable limits, you do know decibel is a logarithmic scale, right? 80db is 10x more energy than 70db and well past the long-term exposure safety.
Christian Martin
It's ok for cutscenes because it lets the director draw your eyes to what's important but for gameplay it's fucking awful. Don't try and tell me where my eyes are looking because my reticle is pointed somewhere.
Owen Ross
I actually have Meniere's disease and I don't experience the dizziness or vertigo or get sick, but I get the tinnitus part where It does actually happen completely out of nowhere even if im driving a car for example
It seriously fucking sucks

>"None of you have the disease so the conclusion is that it doesn't exist and the point that Tinnitus can spontaneously appear means nothing" Just neck yourself.
Cooper James
Shit like this is why I bought an amp with a volume knob. I keep it on my desk and keep my fingers close to the knob, always ready to turn down the volume.
Jack Ramirez
>how do you want your ears bro? >just EEEEEEEEE my shit up f a m
If your speakers are high up enough that a game can play an uncomfortably loud noise then it's set too high up to begin with, stop blasting your ears.
Brayden Cox
I wonder if bikes like choppers or cruisers cause tinnitus. They're so fucking loud even when they just drive past or are stationary and I wonder how people manage to ride that shit for hours.
He's right, though. This disease not only is extremely rare but between the various forms of the disease a few may have some genetic component. What your argument boils down to is: a very rare disease that has tinnitus among its symptoms may have in very rare occurrences be linked to genetic inheritance.
Kevin Nelson
>dad has been playing classical music on his phone louder and louder and more frequently in the last few years, it's pretty much 100% on nowadays He didn't say anything but I feel like he's trying to drown out tinnitus.
I have to ask, are you legitimately mentally retarded? What makes you think games and movies don't pull that shit all the time where it's deathly quiet only for the audio engineer to shove the mic in their ass and rip the loudest fart ever recorded then go into audacity and raise the volume by 100000%?
Elijah Myers
My dads been riding for years and it hasn't affected him. But if you ride a harley for like 12 hours in a day, you can still hear the vibrations through your body.
Kind of like that feeling you get after playing on swings or riding in a boat.
Bentley Myers
I've had tinnitus 24/7 for as long as I can remember
Lucas Johnson
FUCK
Andrew Wood
Jesus fuck that's exactly what it looks like for me, havent had that shit in a while though.
Julian Powell
That's not how it works retard, a computer simply can't send a signal louder than a certain ceiling defined as 0db in electronic systems. You are playing audio way too loudly.
Brody Cook
See Aside from "genetics" which you have no control over whatsoever. It still has factors where it does decide to fuck you for no reason that isn't even done by self hearing loss. Even besides this disease, check the thread, there are plenty of people who gained tinnitus from non-headphone usage who stayed away from loud sounds yet still got fucked with it. His point is as retarded as he is.
Brody Collins
>All speakers have the same quality
Xavier Miller
Thankfully my tinnitus is mild and I only hear it at night or in very quiet places. I don't know how i'd deal with a loud ringing at all times.
Generally speaking, a speaker will sound better at the same price point than a headphone, improvements are exponential the more you spend too with a beefy sound system sounding like a true cinema which no headphone can compete with.
Lucas Hall
I had a britbong pajit doctor tell me that they aren't connected but I think it's bullshit. I have tinnitus, visual snow and TMJ which is a common trinity.
>that one brainlet in the thread who doesn't think that tinnitus can happen randomly
fuck you dude, I had that "out of nowhere high-pitched noise in your ear" that usually goes away after 5 seconds, except it didn't go away I was in a fucking near-silent bedroom besides the rain on my windows when that shit kicked in
Josiah Gomez
t. headphone user Tinnitus doesn't show up instantly when you are continuously destroying your eardrums over several years.
Brandon Taylor
Some people are born with VSS, others like me just woke up in their 20s and suddenly saw dots everywhere. I do have mild TMJ and i'm looking to get it fixed soon which I believe is the cause of my tinnitus (you can test this yourself by pressing up against your jaw, if the ringing gets louder then chances are your tinnitus are TMJ related), but I doubt it would fix my visual snow.
Sebastian Wood
>Haven't had this happen in years >Get back from the gym and the entirety of my vision is fucking rainbow >Most intense pain from a migraine I've ever experienced shortly afterward T-thanks
I have tinnitus and hearing EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE shit in vidya triggers me
Liam Sullivan
My light sensitivity is fucked, and although my nigh vision is fine cars headlights create a massive fucking glare that it's almost unbearable. Aside from that the dots don't bother me at all, I only see it at night or up against a flat wall. Apparently it can get to the point where your entire vision is just dots like pic related, I hope it doesn't get worse.
Yep, mine too. A lot of bright lights burn into my eyes easily because of visual snow. White text on a black background actually fucks with me a lot. Where if I stare at it for a few seconds and look away I see the lines burned into my eyes for about 5-ish seconds. I think it's related to "Palinopsia" or something.
Alexander Jackson
Same, but I just sleep with a fan on and it's fine.
Mason Ramirez
>enter dungeon >eh reeeeeh
Zachary Lee
It's not always harmless but can sometimes be a sign of a cataract if you also see black floaters and shit. But either way there's not much you can do about it.
Isaiah Cooper
The headphone general moved from /g/ to here?
Isaac Evans
What about if you hear 4-5 sounds spread across both ears like me, and two of them are sound reactant? I miss being able to listen to asmr and feel comfy again.
Apparently the black floating shit is just your visions blind spot that the brain usually filters out, but because people with VSS lose habituation you notice it all the time. It's why you might notice your nose all the time.
Gabriel Diaz
>average Freshmen class in a hallway
>that kid that would always shoot the red barrels next to the janitor's closet on the way to geometry Fuck you Eric now we all have tinnitus.
I don't know if I can trust it but I also don't know if I have anything else to lose. I heard about the water flushing method that hospitals use and heard about people have their tinnitus be worse after it. I don't know if I want to make it 6 sounds instead of 5. Considering that my tinnitus seemingly gets worse for no reason these past 3 years I might end up looking into it.
John Howard
Does your ringing get louder if you push up on your jaw? If so it could be that your jaw is all kinds of fucked too.
Jordan James
Honestly It's hard for me to tell. I do have TMJ though, and a bit of an overbite. But above all of this, I don't actually have any hearing loss when I went to get a test, despite hearing 4 - 5 combined sounds which definitely isn't normal. So I just gave up.
Cooper Martinez
Yes, but motion blur in real life is not as annoying, as it only happens with objects that are very close to your face.
Colton Scott
damn im lurking with a bunch of genetic abominations in every thread. what isn't wrong with you fags?
Benjamin Jones
Well the exhaust is pointed away from you so it might not sound as loud as you think, but yeah for most people barring a few exceptions riding bikes a lot without earpro can cause some hearing damage. Perhaps not enough to give you EEEE but enough that you might start to lose some of your fine sound perception.
Sebastian Turner
Blame the trend of producers wanting to make their games cinematic. Video games that are all about "realism" typically do not truthfully portray realism at all because actual realism is bland and boring.
Hence, cinematic shit like lens flares, RED LIGHT BAD LIGHT, WHITE LIGHT GOOD LIGHT, and chromatic aberration are usually put in those games to spice the experience up, twisting the definition of "realism" to the point where it's not even realism but rather it's more of "movie, cinema and filmmaker shit but in a realistic video game environment". A pathetic, sad and elaborate way for the producers of said games to say "I like movies!". At least Kojima was very open about his games being movie games from the start.
