 I am basing this on my own experience with Tinnitus, which the OP already has due to exposure to Occupation related high level sound exposure.

 I am not suggesting that this should be a problem for those not suffering from Tinnitus.

However, very clean sounding Audio on headphones may sometimes result in  extended listening sessions at higher than desirable levels without some kind of SPL guide.

Well said.

I wasn’t being a jokester if you  are on steroids then the anti-inflamatory effects of thc/cbd  might be be beneficial and safer BUT I do hope this getting better best wishes as always BTW- I am seeing my first patients since March 9th-these specialists are just itching to restart elective procedures especially ophthalmologists and orthos

Well, I made a discovery tonight...

 

First, the ringing has gone down some. My ear clearly has an infection and that is causing some of the problem and it is getting better, slowly... However... I was futzing with my new amp and as soon as I played music through it, without having the headphones on my head, I could hear a very high pitched ringing. I stopped the music, it stopped with the ringing. Start the music, the ringing started back up. SO I called my SO in the room and asked her if she could hear it too. She did.

 

SO now my brand spanking new crazy expensive headphone amp has to go back for repair of some sort. I'm not listening to it right now anyway, but man, this is a bummer.

Wow, a major bummer but a good thing that nothing else inside you needs repair. 
 

Have you used an app on your phone to identify the frequency? Not that it will do anything, but it may be an indication of what’s malfunctioning.

Sadly, sometimes "crazy expensive" can also mean just plain crazy.

I can see where that would happen with live rock concert recordings... 🎧  The later recordings of Yes aggravate my tinnitus even without loud volumes.

Perhaps, but it's really a pretty simple device. Its just a really high quality SET amp, point to point wired, etc...

 

It's the second one with speaker taps as well though, so that may have something to do with it.  We'll see.

 

edit: The price comes from 2 factors, IMO, 1) low volume and 2) silver wound transformers.

well, the news is not good...

 

It turns out that I have developed some arthritis, and among the joints affected are the temporomandibular joints, which if you're not aware of what that is, its your jaw bone joint that lets your lower jaw move the way it's supposed to. This is inflamed and very near my left ear, which is causing the ringing. Temporarily, I am on Prednisone to help reduce the inflammation and it does reduce the level of the tinnitus, but it does not go away. It will probably never go away and that sucks.

Bummer to read. 
 

Can you modulate the tinnitus by clenching your teeth?

Stay the hell away from NSAIDS unless you really need them -- they light up my tinnitus really strongly. 

 

A bit of medical trivia; in the old days rheumatic fever was treated with high-dose aspirin, which was titrated by increasing the dose until the patient's ears started to ring, then backing off a little.

Take a shot of cocaine, and some rubbing alcohol and call me in the morning!

 Many people worldwide, myself included, have found that Curcumin which is derived from Turmeric which is widely used in Indian cooking may give quite a bit of relief , often  within 24 hours.  You can  also  add Turmeric to Curries etc.

Sometimes, even my fingers  "crack", as does my neck when turning, and it sounds so loud I wonder if others can hear it.

I take Curcumin mainly for the severe Arthritis in my left knee which can keep me awake at night.

 I take 2 Curcumin 600 Plus Capsules from Blooms each night .

 

 P.S. 

 Curcumin can often help with lower backache as well. 😉

 

 

How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area. All that Identical Checksums gives is the possibility of REGENERATING the file to close to that of the original file.

Assuming the tinnitus is related to the TMJ inflammation I would confirm with a bone scan with SPECT to see if it does light up. If so I would consider a guided steroid injection as an option but with caveats TMJ injection for tinnitus

 

I use SPECT to help identify which cervical facet joints to inject under CT guidance and possibly radiofrequency neurotomy.
