Quote:Those symptoms mean the ultrasonic was too loud. You appear to either have a bad idea of how loud it should be in trickling stream or you are very sensitive to ultrasonic audio. Either way, use it at the loudest volume at which it is comfortable for you.
Haha, I'm pretty sure I have the trickling stream at a low enough volume. Any lower and I'd have to strain to actually hear it. I guess I'm just that sensitive, because even at a relatively low volume I still get a headache.
Quote:I posted in my journal about a month ago the same issue; feeling pressure in the head after listening to the sub too loud. I wouldn't get the pressure whilst listening to it, but rather the day and accompanied with a feeling of lethargy. I turned the volume down a bit and since then not had any problem with it. The volume I have the sub at now is perhaps on the quiet side but you could still listen to music at that volume and understand every word spoken. I just think we have a temptation to play these subs to loudly, try it with the volume down a bit for a few days and the pressure headaches should vanish.
I'll give that a go. I think I end up playing it too loud because I want some acknowledgment that it's there. Even so, my definition of loud seems very quiet so I get kind of paranoid when I have to lower it more. But I suppose if I get a headache at that level it just shows that I'm capable of hearing it at an even lower level easily.
