So, having listened to a lot of very loud, very heavy music for many years, my hearing is not the greatest.
I hate trying to have a conversation with someone in a noisy environment but I don't think that's tinnitus.
However, when I'm in a toilet, or any other small room with an overhead fan, I can hear music.
It's always something different and usually not something I'm familiar with, though sometimes close.
Is this the start of it and is there anything that I can do about it?
Other than avoiding overhead fans  |

Loud noises can damage the inner ear more specifically the Organ of Corti, Short term exposure to loud noises 100dBA will cause temporary threshold shift which imbalances the hearing levels but this usually returns to normal, remember your younger days after a night out in a nightclub and how your hearing was a little askew after coming out but next day it had settled down.
As we age we all loose some high frequency hearing ability, this is due to the natural deterioration of the hairs in the inner ear.
Tinnitus is akin to a permanent threshold shift and can be very debilitating and I feel for anyone with this condition have suffered with ear infections for many ears which affected my hearing. |
