I use Shure Sound Isoloating Headphones for playign along along to records and have been amased at how much outside noise ie the drums they cut out and how low you can have the volume of accompanying music coming through them to get a reasonable mix.
I've been doing this for over a year but recently though I seem to be suffereing from Tinnitus and it seems considerably after I've been playing along to records.
I bought a set of headphone style protectors as well which I now put over the sound isolation headphones / IEM's to further reduce the sound of the drums so I cna in turn lower the volume of the music even further but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Does anybody know if putting the sound so deep imto your ear may have a detremental affect and could be causing or has anybody else had anything similar ???
I really do have the volume low to the extent that if you were just listening to music for pleasure through normal headphones you'd probably have the volume quite a bit higher.
Any help / input appreciated, I have just ordered some custom IEM's to see if they help at all.
