I am going through a same problem and have reduced my listening and also reduced the volume I listen at. I am also in two minds regarding my system.

NO, don't do it.
I think you need to give yourself more time before such a drastic decision.
You seem to suffer from tinnitus.
Music is actually suggested as a therapy for that.
I would suggest you see if you need to get out of music or only need to change what you listen to.
Please don't make any hasty decision.

I second that, one of my family member is suffering from ostioscelerosis. Dr advised him to listen to music at very low level when he get buzz in his ear.

Indeed. Sorry to hear of your problems. I hope they go away and you get back to enjoying your music. Take care.

Sorry Imtiaz that it has come to this. I feel ya
Sometimes it makes me wonder if the 'Creator' is cruel to stop us from enjoying anything that is fun: Music, Sweets, Fried / salty food, Alcohol and other 'unprintable' stuff! Now some would say enjoy everything in moderation - can you really stop after two songs and that too in whisper mode?!

Live long - doing things you don't enjoy, eating things you hate

Sorry to hear this. This is quite a bummer. I hope some solution is found. Music is such a beautiful thing to have in ones life.

I had a specific question. Did the doctor ask you to stop listening to music at high decibels levels or asked you to stop completely? Normal ambient sound levels in everyday life ( in the street or near tvs ) and the normal volume levels in a high quality music system are pretty much the same in terms SPL. In fact the music system sound will be soothing as well because of lack of distortion.

If normal music volumes on a system itself is a problem, one will need to treat this problem by using ear plugs that blocks out normal ambient noise levels as well. Is that the situation ?
