tinnitus caused possible by electronic noise

Post by Patrykelele » 03 Feb 2023, 09:41

Hi!
I have the same issues as all you have experienced. I will not go into details. I just accepted the lags, however yesterday I found possible source of my tinnitus. It was noice in speakers which I was wearing 10h per day. It wasn't problem in headphones itself since I test 2 pairs and 2 sound cards all test with noise. It has to be some noise in PC.

Noise or high pitch noise from headphones or speakers, may come from CPU, because of power savings features (in my case), like C-states. This is obvious problem(maybe is not your case) can be easily googled

This is "normal" that you can hear noise from GPU VRMs in your headphones. It's common thing.

I think the fact that you've been playing heavy shooters with explosions and sharp gun sounds for 10hrs a day is most likely the probelm for your tinnitus hehe.

I heard downclocking and down voltage GPU can reduce noise from VRM.

Wrong forum. Ergonomics issues goes elsewhere.

EDIT: Now we finally have an Ergonomics forum. While display-ergonomics, many displays annoyingly do have coil whine, so it's now ontopic, and I want to seed this Ergonomics forum by moving all existing ergonomics posts to it)

This is probably an enormous problem now since everyone is going to have multiple devices like TV's, routers, PC's, speakers, etc, all in the same room and at least one of them will probably emit a high pitch dog whistle sound to give you some type of perma-tinnitus. I noticed this issue on the XG27AQMR where it did it at idle and when you turn on ELMB it turned into a very audible bee hive sound instead. But what is the solution? Sue every electronics company on Earth? Sue the CCP?
