You'd know if you had tinnitus.
If you hear sound when there's no sound...that'll be it.
Fatigue is a very real thing. Could that be what you're dealing with?
The recommendations for work/breaks/work are pretty steep. Something like 20 minutes on for 10 off? I don't know.
If your ears are ringing after a session then it passes, your monitors are way too loud.
yeap i hear buzzing when theres no sound since i was a teen.
i dont use the speakers that much. but ever since i bought them they bother my ears even at low volume. i use to use logitech
speakers and never happened.
Tinnitus is like having crickets in your yard all the time, sometimes pronounced high ringing - but not buzzing. Go see an ear-nose & throat specialist.
I am clinically, registered deaf. I CAN hear pretty well but not much past 2kHz and this makes understanding some voices very difficult. But I count myself VERY lucky that I have never suffered from tinnitus as I understand it has led some people to attempt suicide?
I am with Mr S, the speakers could be too loud or, they could be faulty. A couple scenarios suggest themselves..
1) The HF amplifier is distorting and the tweeter putting out high levels of harmonics. This is not a 'natural' sound and will lead to rapid fatigue.
2) The crossover has had a wrong component stuffed and the HF level is too high (or might not be rolling off early enough) Do not dismiss this idea! ***t'appen in production and the MOST amazing things escape QC!

Not normal.I have them at low volume and still bother me.
The tweeter makes a hiss noise or white noise is that normal? Even when is disconected.

Not normal.
Maybe a dumb question - are you using balanced (TRS - look like stereo plugs, not instrument TS) cables?
What are the switch and level settings on the back? Maybe a camera pic?I have them at low volume and still bother me.

Yeah there could be a problem with componets. Ill take it to guitar center and see if other speaker have the same problems.
Sounds like your new monitors are producing sounds that your Logitecs never did. That's probably normal. Do you experience the same annoyance in other situations such as loud places.......large groups of people..........other types of speakers? If so you may have certain frequency ranges (low or high) that affect parts of your ear that are damaged or degrading or failing. Depending on your age that could be somewhat normal as well. An ear nose and throat specialist can give you a test and tell you a lot about your problem.

I don't think the little bit of noise should be a problem, because it's not likely to get louder with any signal, i.e., it will become masked somewhat, but not hearing it myself I can't say. It shouldn't be there, though. Check input sensitivity, level, HF setting, etc.
"still makes the noise when disconected. could that be hurting my ear when stuff if being played? "
^ That, I am sure is your answer Willy. A constant hiss is going to be very fatiguing. This is something I have in the past tried to get reviewers to pay more attention to, called 'Self Noise'. Very rarely does a monitor manufacturer give a figure, Xdb SPL at (say) 1mtr for the noise output of an active speaker and they ALL must produce some.
IMO even the cheapest active monitors should produce NO audible noise at the normal listening position, say around 1.5mtrs from each speaker? Ok, perhaps we can allow very low budget units IN AN VERY QUIET ROOM a tiny hiss at LP but I am loathe to even allow that, after all we have had the technology to make power amps with better than -100dB noise levels ref full power for decades.
Those monitors are faulty or, if other samples are the same, technically shit.
Dave.
no never notice even working with machinery and also if i put my stereo speakers loud im fine. the monitors bother specially my right ear like if theres a bug walking inside lol...

Have you ever had this checked out?!
I wouldn't even try to guess what it could mean. But geez.. find out!
