A friend told me that he thinks that the loud noise is peeling the skin off my eardrum and if I let it rest it'll grow back otherwise I'll go deaf. Hopefully a doctor can give me some good news .
I don't want to quit WM2 now so close to the end so tonight I'm just gonna turn it down, I turned it down to -50db.
Edit: I also tried cleaning my ears out with hydrogen peroxide (suggested by somebody in my thread and also by my aunt) but it didn't do anything. In fact I think it made it worse if anything. My aunt thinks that the reason I can't hear well is built up wax but I disagree my ears feel clean, I washed them out vigorously with hydrogen peroxide and used q-tips. Everything seems slightly tinny and my ears are ringing with a very high pitch and it feels like I just got done swiming and there's water in my ears. My left is worse than my right.
Sorry if I sound irrational but I really don't want to go deaf or lose quality of life due to ***** up ears , its already annoying because my ears are slightly sensitive and I can't hear details in sounds very well.
-35 dB isn't going to make you go deaf. +35, maybe. -35? Not a chance.
Just use masked for a while and see if that helps. Whenever tinnitus is an issue, always favor masked format. You'd have to be playing an ultrasonic a lot louder than -35 dB and for a long time to affect your hearing. I understand that you've been using masked format primarily, is that correct?
