Fireworks, concert and two hours of clubbing (the latter made it really loud) :(

Started to notice it when I was 16 after a snowball hit my left ear. A year later I went to what I thought would be an acoustic concert that turned out to be punk/hardcore stuff. Got T in both ears after an hour. Needless to say I didn't know what T was back then. Only noticable at night so I...

I went to an ice hockey game this past weekend and noticed that the loud sounds didn't bother me as much as before. However the clapping was paintful at times. Another thing is that the T is not bothering me compared to my hearing loss. As I am an avid language learner it makes things much more...

Now I am a 100% certain I have a hearing loss, even if my numbers are within the normal range. When watching movies and tv shows I can't understand whispers/soft speech. With the whispers I hear certain sounds but nothing that makes sense. Sometimes I wouldn't even know they said something...

Another weird thing is when I pinch my nose and blow I can hear my heart beat and my voice (like putting your fingers in the ears and talk) in my right ear. Why not the other ear? I've had the feeling of fullness for 4 months so I do this a lot.

He didn't show it to me. I did see that there was a 5/10 db (don't know if they test in 5 or 10 incrememts) drop at the lowest frequency however. My problem is that the words will sometimes go together and whispers sounds like jibberish at times. Sounds I seem to miss are T, L, K, Z, and H. I...

This is exactly what I experience. Terrified that it's in my head. I suspect my friends think I'm crazy.

I'm pretty sure it's noise induced and no tumor involved as the T and hearing got worse right after the incidents. When I play this "hearing test" I start hearing a sound at around 15kHz using laptop speakers. As it goes down it's like the tones are switching from ear to ear. Shouldn't it be...

Yes I visited an ENT. My audiogram was within the normal range. No conductive hearing loss either. I felt that I struggled a bit with the word recognition, like the difference with v and b, m and n and so on. The ENT was not interested in hearing my story, he just did the tests and that was it...

My name is Chris and I'm 21. I started to notice sounds in my left year in 2008. Back then I could barely hear it in a silent room. A year later I went to a concert and my ears rung really bad after. A few days later it grew fainter but I could hear it very well in both ears, slighty louder in...
