Because its what my ENT said. I have about a 6dB dip in the left ear at that frequency and have pronounced tinnitus. Most people have to have 20-30dB of signal loss before tinnitus develops. My test results were strange enough that they had me go back and do a BSER (brain stem evoked response) test to make sure my brain was working properly. So based on all of that, yes, I believe I am more susceptible to tinnitus symptoms than most people. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
