Leonard,
I HIGHLY urge you to take a break from your DAW for a few weeks (I know hard advice to take). I've been struggling with Tinnitus for almost ten years now after Guitar & DJing, learning my ears were more sensitive than others the hard way. Once it becomes a permanent condition there's no cure, you just have to adapt, and it sucks bigtime. Your best shot right now is to give your ears plenty of rest from noise(and I mean NOW), but don't focus on either (a very tricky feat in itself). Play sports or something for a while and get a hearing test. This is not easy advice to take, but if you can muster the discipline, you may avoid a lifetime of dealing. As a music lover, It's been the single trickest thing I've had to deal with in life. Since yours occured recently, you may still have a shot if act now. Give your ears a rest (it's the ONLY solution I've tried everything), and secondary maybe evaluate your lifstyle if your eating right, exercise etc...
If your ears recover (I'd try to give it a few weeks), re-evaluate your set-up (speaker position, posture etc) & synths and GET RID of the noisy ones.

I have a scortching case of tinnitus from my car stereo days...(why did I think I needed a 140+ db car?!?!?!?! )
I appreciated your feedback here.-

How old are you? At some point everyone starts losing high frequencies, and tinnitus is also not uncommon.leonard wrote:1 are we all screwed on the long run?

Doesn't everyone who is involved with music have tinnitus? And it only gets worse! It doesn't annoy me while I listen to music except when listening with headphones.

No,they don't.I have my hearing tested once a year as a matter of course,and while I have some high frequency loss(I'm pushing 50,after all),no sign of inflicted damage.Algar wrote:Doesn't everyone who is involved with music have tinnitus?

Then again,I've ALWAYS worn earplugs when playing live(or rehearsing with the louder bands I've played with).

don't bother seeing your local cutthroat murderer bastard liar salesman.
there is no medical cure for tinnitus. there is no complete medical understanding of tinnitus.. the establishment will say this and this, but all in all they don't have a comprehensive understanding.
what most people experience is ~wavering fixed pitches that seem to be triggered by constantly firing cilia, usually after loud or constant noises. eg. firing a gun, watching tv for years.
if you make it worse, it can be hell, eg. you can no longer sleep on that ear. it can get so loud that you can't hear conversation... god elp you if you're due to mix the low end on an album or something..
yes, other factors are reported to screw with your hearing.. some say smoke, alcohol, caffiene, exercise can combine to worsen the effects. but doesn't caffiene thin the blood? that'd seem like it'd help..
afa treatment, the curious thing about tinnitus (and indeed, the body, and life, and all things, except the doctor will never tell you and most civilisd people are so pig ingorant that they'll never tell you) is that many people have successfully treated it purely psychologically...
i have heard of one individual who used synths to emulate the pitches and 'phase cancel' the tinnitus exprientially or whatever.. he reported gonig thru the frequencies and eliminating them one by one..
now.. is this a matter of various cilia being responsive to certain frequencies, and how much self determination does the body have over sending growth hormones to various parts.. whatever you believe will tend to influence your physiology.. as said, many people treat their tinnitus purely via meditation, psychology, whatever you like to call using your mind.

Shouldn't be too severe. Find a trustworthy doctor. Avoid cutthroat murderous whatevers. There are quite a few incompetents hiding behind shingles.leonard wrote:Ok, I'm not 20 anymore, I am not 30 anymore, I am not 40 yet.

true, the second you hear surgery(no pun intended) its time to run out of there as quickly as possible.

Much of what you say I've experienced to be true...after the onset of tinnitus, how you deal with it is mostly psychological. Doctors don't have a clue what to advise about it since they can't effectively prescribe or operate (most are very limited in that repect). The silver lining is it forced me to somewhat balance my life after years of pot & loud music marathons as a teen into my 20's. I've incorporated a little fresh air, exercise and healthy food into my lifestyle so I can continue to enjoy my playing music. I am also very careful about volume, posture, what synths I use, and stop at the first sign of fatigue. My mom is has lost 60% of her natural hearing at 55yrs so I can't afford to take it lightly.xoxos wrote:don't bother seeing your local cutthroat murderer bastard liar salesman.

In that case I probably have about 10 years on you. I recently noticed a high pitched sound in my ears. Sometimes more noticable than others, slightly worse in my right than my left ear. This seems to correspond completely to the fact that I've lost a bit more of the high frequencies in my right than my left ear. Hearing loss comes with age, and tinnitus seems to come, often, with hearing loss.leonard wrote:Do I really have to make a statement here?

I'm trying to stay cool with it. Lay off stimulants like coffee
