The weird thing is that I don't know if I have it or if it's normal. If I'm sitting alone and it's reasonably quiet, I just hear a high-pitched whine. It's quite noticeable if I think about it, but I can tune it out without any effort. Is that tinnitus or is that just normal ears?

Is your hearing normal? Have you had it tested?

I've had it tested and for the most part my hearing is normal other than a few frequencies. I never asked about the whine because it's always been there. It's kind of loud if I sit and listen to it (kind of like ringing ears after a rock concert), but again it's really easy to tune out, especially if there's any other noise present. The weird thing is that I actively avoid noise. I've heard that it can happen if you're around loud noise a lot, but I've never had a lot of exposure to loud noise.

Definitely. My generation especially. So many idiots blasting their earbuds. We tested our class in graduate school and a good 10/40 people were already showing signs of high frequency hearing loss which is common with listening to music too loud. If other people can hear your music, it's too loud.

I like headphones as well but too bulky at the gym, so I use earbuds there. I keep the volume very low. Glad you are looking out for your ears. Too many people take their hearing for granted until it's too late.

I kind of worry about that, because I spend about 3 or 4 hours a week running with those things. I try to keep it turned down to a reasonable level, but even at a reasonable level it feels like that's noise right on my eardrums.

My occupation is much different than yours but I enjoy the silence. Some of my best ideas come when I'm jogging or biking, which for me, is extremely relaxing despite the physical aspect. |
