(I do not know why the first character of each line was mssing when
this arrived here!)
I have never had the problem referred to, because all my concentrated
listening (i.e. the kind of listening when my eyes stop working and
all my sensory power is switched to my ears) is done in short
bursts. I can switch my ears on and off from this type of listening
and only turn them on when needed.
I suppose that, as far as I am concerned, the effect is associated
with use of the brain and not the ears.

I think this probably depends on the headphones one uses. I have
Sennheiser HD600 and do not find them at all tiring, even after hours of use.
-- just my two brain cells' worth...
