It’s well known that the major cause to tinnitus is loud sounds. Also, a related condition, hyperacusis (painful amplified hearing), is also affected by loud sound. Lastly, tinnitus and hyperacusis are often precursors to deafness.
Singing techniques can affect the travel of sound throughout the head, and obviously to the ears as well. The ways of head resonance amplify these sounds as well.
So, it would seem that singing techniques can affect the degree of affected tinnitus and hyperacusis, and possibly even reduce the likelihood of losing one’s hearing.
Though it is known that some tinnitus and hyperacusis suffers’ singning can cause these illnesses, I didn’t find much research on this topic or how singing techniques can reduce tinnitus or hyperacusis.
Does anyone have suggestions, knowledge, resources for research?
