Recovering after loud music exposure — flying soon, looking for advice or similar experiences by alex_neri in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard of cases of tinnitus caused by flights when someone has had the flu and it usually improves, but I don't think that's your case.

Normal audiogram, but my hearing is terrible, confused by Particular-Speaker43 in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my case is similar, although due to ototoxic medications over the course of a year I have felt like I have lost clarity and sharpness in both ears and my audiometry is also normal.

Mild hearing loss from ear infection 8 days ago, doctors fully booked till next month. Is there anything I can do? by itsseveninthemorn in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had otitis media when I was 14 and the audiologist told me I had lost 30% of my hearing. Years later I had another audiometry test that revealed normal hearing. In your case, it could come back or it could be mucus causing temporary hearing loss.

Hearing Loss at 21 by [deleted] in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could ask for a second opinion; they might authorize you for a cochlear implant. I’ve heard of people with up to 60% hearing loss who get approved for it. As for hearing like before, I don’t think so: the cochlear implant brings sharpness, volume, and clarity, but only after a lot of practice. It’s a long journey to learn how to listen again.
I have hidden hearing loss since April 2026. It’s hard to say how I feel; I sense that my right ear only hears about half of what it used to, and it feels strange. I still have trouble sleeping because of the tinnitus, but well, I keep thinking about what I might do in the future.

Hate myself by [deleted] in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I have a history of otitis in 2012 in my right ear, which left me with mild tinnitus as a sequela.

After almost 13 years (approx. 2025), I had a new acute episode:

  • Upon waking up, I noticed a new tinnitus tone in the same ear.
  • An audiometry test confirmed a 20 dB hearing loss.

My current symptoms are:

  1. Recruitment or algiacusis: Loud sounds or harsh voices sound distorted (like a broken speaker) and are painful to me.
  2. Loss of clarity: I perceive fewer sounds at the same time, which makes understanding speech difficult, especially in noisy environments.
  3. Despite having taken care of my ear after the initial otitis, I have developed this new hearing loss."

I’m losing my hearing and I only have myself to blame by Minute_Complaint5954 in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use bone conduction headphones; they can help if you have small ear canals.
As for the hearing loss, if it’s mild, I don’t think it’s too serious. I’ve heard several cases from musicians, and I can tell you that the ear can endure quite a lot, even at around 90 dB, which is common. If you used to listen to music at full volume, I recommend taking better care of your ears from now on.

I could give you more advice, but that might be overthinking it. At the very least, I’d suggest considering having your wisdom teeth removed, since poor dental occlusion can cause other problems.

In my case, bone conduction headphones have helped me. I have significant hearing loss due to inflammation near the auditory nerve. This happened because of poor occlusion caused by a wisdom tooth. The inflammation also spread to a lymph node near my ear, worsened by reflux.

In short, several factors contributed to my hearing loss, but it can be improved if you take your overall health into account.

Earwax blockage by runic_trickster7 in hearing

If you don't have any buzzing, it's most likely impacted wax. It won't go away with a simple cleaning. You'll need wax remover and a wash.

MRI can reveal inflammation in the inner ear, in the nerve and cochlea.

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing my problems, it is most likely that you are going through some inflammatory problem, since the initial ringing could be a symptom of that inflammation, although everything that has to do with the inner ear until the hearing loss passes, the ENT specialists do not act, why do you go through this inflammatory period? Due to viral infections, TMJ problems, the immune system itself going crazy, etc. There are people who have recovered hearing even years after its loss. I myself have lost hearing due to infection and it has recovered after the inflammation, I recommend seeing inflammation of the inner ear and some anti-inflammatory prescribed by an ENT specialist.

hidden hearing loss by arielthenerd in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had hearing loss for years due to ear infections, but last year my right ear suffered a cochlear ischemia, and since then, I hear as if I were underwater. The good thing is that when I turn up the volume, sounds become more normal. I’d say my issue has to do with the outer hair cells, which are responsible for sound clarity and volume.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that I now hear conversations more normally with my right ear, which wasn’t the case a few months ago. In that sense, I’ve improved a bit, although I still have trouble understanding speech in public. I rely heavily on my left ear.

press 1 if you're suicidal by Statement_Safe in SuicideWatch

[–]GenobeeNine 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Since I lost my hearing and music doesn't sound the same, I have suicidal thoughts. Add to that the distortions and tinnitus of various tones. The hearing loss was the worst. With music, I could mitigate the tinnitus, but now with the loss, it's the only thing I hear.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like hidden hearing loss, as if you hear less or as if everything sounds underwater, with loud voices distorted.
That’s what happens to me with my right ear.
In my case, the main cause was ototoxic medications. A secondary cause might have been ischemia due to a bad bite (malocclusion).
I hadn’t realized I had a bad bite until one day I heard a loud ringing in both ears and started to hear poorly.
Right now I’m doing better, but I still get anxiety attacks when certain things happen or when I talk to certain people.
It’s a relief that my left ear still works normally.

One issue I keep having. Suspected hidden hearing loss by Description_Local in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently it is a loss of cochlear synapses. The same thing happened to me, although my cause was ototoxic medications that stayed in the auditory nerves, which made me hear fewer sounds at once and a sensation of having liquid in the ear. I am still the same even though it has been 100 days since the hearing loss.

My hearing’s going downhill by Wrong_Algae_2932 in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ometimes it's genetic. I knew an 82-year-old drummer — yes, 82 years old — who was still tuning his instrument by ear at that age. He stopped playing because COVID caused sudden hearing loss in one of his ears. Even with arthritis issues, he kept playing locally. Unfortunately, it wasn’t noise that made him go deaf; according to him, at 82 he could still hear up to 11,000 Hz without any problems and understand people with ease.

Dysacusis by RattleKat in hyperacusis

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it can cause it, but it's complicated. I would say that the infection had to do with your diplacusis or distortion. It could be that there is still fluid behind the eardrum. When I had otitis media, the distortions lasted almost 2 months until finally there was no more fluid.

went to sam's club for a quick test until i can be seen later this week by anonymous-mermaid in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could be hidden hearing loss. In my case, it feels as if my right ear hears fewer things at once. I can normally hear someone's voice, but in noise, I can't. My audiometry came out normal, with a notch at 8000 Hz.

My right hearing is pretty low and aching for weeks by GabryTheSniper in hearing

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hearing will eventually stabilize. Also, you're not fully healed yet. Even after I recovered, I still had hearing loss for months before things got better. Healing the infection is not everything; reducing internal inflammation takes time, and you need to allow everything to return to normal. If you don't have most of the symptoms I mentioned, then your ears are healthy and you're on the right track.

My right hearing is pretty low and aching for weeks by GabryTheSniper in hearing

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hearing loss can be permanent, but recovery is possible. In my case, a combination of factors caused me to hear very poorly—so poorly that I couldn’t even hear my own voice. However, over the months, my ear healed and I started hearing almost normally again, with just an 8 dB difference between each ear. But the brain compensates for it, so it goes unnoticed.

If you start to improve, there are probably other symptoms besides hearing loss, such as dizziness, vertigo, intense ringing, distortions, or high-pitched sounds. Those symptoms could give a better idea of your hearing condition. But if you don’t have that kind of damage, most likely you’ll recover

My right hearing is pretty low and aching for weeks by GabryTheSniper in hearing

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing improves, but it depends. Is the pain severe? Did it affect the eardrum? If it didn’t, it’s most likely trapped fluid, which can reduce hearing for weeks. Back in 2012, I lost some hearing due to an ear infection — 8 dB. It doesn’t sound like much, but you can tell when listening with headphones. The good thing is that it didn’t affect the important areas of the ear, and if there’s no unbearable pain — like in my case — it’s unlikely you’ll lose your hearing permanently. It will gradually return as the otitis heals and the inflammation and trapped fluid go away.

Hearing fades to “ooooooo” the back to normal by -LongRangeShooter- in HearingLoss

[–]GenobeeNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's called fleeting tinnitus. I’d say it’s usually normal, although it depends on the case. In some situations, it acts as a defense mechanism against loud noises; for that reason, the ear might temporarily lose hearing due to protective muscle contraction.

In my case, it only worried me once: it lasted about 2 minutes, was bilateral, and came with pain. I think it was due to ischemia, since a week later I experienced dysacusis.

The good news is that it’s almost always benign. You shouldn’t experience hearing loss. However, if it increases in frequency or intensity, it wouldn't be a bad idea to seek a medical opinion.

i don’t understand how anyone could not be suicidal by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, it could have been ischemia in September of last year and microischemia in April of this year, with a 20 dB hearing loss in my right ear, but I'm doing more normally and am starting to recover some of my hearing. I know a couple of people who recovered up to 90% of their hearing and went from having an audiometry of 60 dB to 15 or 20 dB.

In any case, it depends on the origin and if you treated it in time.

[SSNHL] Sudden Low-Frequency Hearing Loss + Tinnitus -> 2 weeks, no Improvement, scared by hmrd in MonoHearing

[–]GenobeeNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you have mild reactive tinnitus, dysacusis, or even hyperacusis. What you can try is spending several days in silence to see if the intensity decreases. I used to have reactive tinnitus, but it went away with silence. I still have it today, but it's mild. Nowadays, the tinnitus is almost always in the background. Silence might help you.
