Tinnitus Devices
One of the vital signals of tinnitus (any type of noise in the ear(s)) is chronic exposure to loud noises. Many people do not cover their ears and take them for granted. They subject their ears to astronomical volumes such as listening to such a MP3 devices, going to rock concerts and standing in front of the larger loudspeakers, working in environments where there are loud noises.Tinnitus Devices
The enter goes on and on. It's a fairly sure bet which they will be able to damage such a inner ear and end up with tinnitus. Do you know how loud is loud? Here is a list of the noise levels measured in decibels (measurement of intensity of sound):

Guess where the MP3 devices fall under? Since you would want to listen to your music above the background noise of the city/bus/train level (90-95dB), you would most likely set it 20dB above those levels which is at around 110dB!!!! Note that this value is over and above the 90-95dB acceptable level. Couple this with ear-buds that goes directly into your ear canal, this can cause serious hearing problems.
There are debates going on between in-ear buds versus the head-phones in terms of which one would cause the most damage. In any case, if the volume is high enough, they will both do damage to your ears. MP3 devices are now quickly becoming one of the main causes of tinnitus. It's ashamed that teenagers are not heeding these warnings while they continue to blast their ears with their MP3 devices.Tinnitus Devices
In my case as a former DJ, that is the cause of my tinnitus. I have tinnitus in my left ear as that was the ear I used for monitoring the mixes. Protect your ears by turning down the volume and wearing ear plugs. Suffering from Tinnitus and Ringing in Ear? Get your life back forever by checking out Tinnitus Devices now.
