Tinnitus worries...

I have had on and off periodic ringing in the ears for 30 years, (lots of live music) and back in March I decided to invest in a new home audio system, speakers, amp preamp CD player and cables costing about 7k, I have almost constant low level tinnitus now, my doctor says it's a cumulative thing and there is little that can be done. I hardly listen to music beyond normal talking decibels, and am very careful about any other loud DB exposure. Odd how the tinnitus became constant the minute I got my new system set up.  I guess this is more of a warning than anything else, so be careful!

I have it, too. But, my stereo doesn't seem to be influencing it. 
I would suggest consulting a hearing specialist. Sometimes something like TMJ might be a trigger.

Racer45, sorry to hear you are so sensitive to even wind sound. With that information, I really think you should see a hearing specialist, Now.
My tinnitus is a pita, but nothing that makes me notice it during the day.
Thankfully, medical science has been addressing the ills of advanced age for a while, so now us young'uns benefit from their discoveries.

As others have said, you should try to not dwell upon it.
Remember, human lifespans have more than doubled in the space of 100-150 years, so some of our parts haven’t evolved to last so long.

Hey, compare your tinnitus with my colonoscopy exam next week. Or, a cytoscopy. Now, don’t you feel better?
