I’m 20. Most of my friends hearing is just as good as mine and they don’t have tinnitus. I do hate trying to go to sleep sometimes as the ringing is overpowering in a silent room.

If you did that just once, don’t sweat it. I used to blast my ears with Apple earphones in high school all day far past 100dB. I can still hear up to 19,000 hz, but the tinnitus is slightly annoying. But it seems like my hearing ability in general hasn’t been too affected for now. I’ll see what happens in 10 years lol.

Tinnitus is pretty slow. I have it badly but only the more I actually focus and listen to the ringing specifically. U can get ringing in your ears for listening to something for too loudly that will go away over time, tinnitus is life long really, so I’m hoping for your sake that it goes away for you.

So you’re telling me if you had a DAC/AMP and a phone with an Apple dongle and you could pick both to listen to, without cost, you wouldn’t plug into the amp? Regardless, the volume is honestly what I paid for anyway
