A member asked:
Can you use headphones if you have tinnitus and will headphones make it worse? and is it bad if your ears hurt when you use them ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BAD: Tinnitus means that the inner ear structures are damaged--maybe by sounds. Please see an ENT specialist and have a hearing evaluation done.
