I actually hit upon impedance here because that is the one number generally that does not match the specifications I am using for this particular search. That being said, the surgery in question took place in 1992. It would be more than a decade before this incident could even be measured and diagnosed, and almost two or so before some of the science started to provide options, and that is still changing.

I don't see how impedance could have anything to do with making you dizzy. Could you explain?
I'm not saying those headphones don't make you dizzy. But it would be very interesting to know the mechanism.
If I had to guess at a factor that might cause dizziness, I'd pick problems with phase. That would imply serious filters, I'd think. Plain old passive headphones don't have fancy filters.
Perhaps one driver wired backwards: that would make one signal 180 degrees out of phase. But that doesn't seem like an easy mistake to make. (It is easy on some home stereo's the swap the lines into a speaker.) --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
