![]() Maybe it's time to get my hearing tested professionally again to see if something has changed, although I suspect hearing aids would not be of any use since I hear most pure tones clearly. I have started to realize that I have problems following conversations, especially in noise, and that it's not normal to need subtitles for every show I watch. ![]() Good thing I've been very careful about protecting my ears since then despite being told my pure-tone audiogram was within the "normal range".ĭoes anyone else with noise damage have a similar experience, where frequency sweeps lose their "smooth" quality above 4 kHz when played slowly? ![]() When I went to the ENT for tinnitus in 2017, I knew it was because I had abused my ears with earbuds, but it's kind of scary to listen to the damage this way. The gaps occur at different frequencies in each ear, so that listening with both ears at the same time makes it sound like the tone is jumping from ear to ear. When doing a frequency sweep from 1-8 kHz using speakers instead of headphones, I have A LOT of narrow dips in hearing above 4 kHz, where the tone disappears or is low and distorted (unless I up the volume) for a few (maybe around 10-30?) Hz. Pretty sure I can't hear above 15.4 kHz (using high quality speakers at a safe volume), which seems pretty bad at 25 years old. I've been playing around with an online tone generator and realized some things about my hearing. ![]()
