    Hearing Distortion in One Ear

    Hello all! It's been over 2 years since the distortion started. I have found some coping strategies. I am not sure but I think the distortion may be lessening. It could also be that I am just getting used to it. I have adjusted my music listening to lower the 4K to 2k frequency range on car...

    Hearing Distortion in One Ear

    Hey guys, Just checking in. No real improvement in my condition for almost 2 years now. No worsening either. I still have the same slight tinnitus in my right ear. It's manageable. The distortion still occurs for certain volume levels and frequencies. It may have tapered off a bit since...

    Hearing Distortion in One Ear

    Thanks for the response. You have probably given me the best explanation for this problem I've heard yet! I had my MRI (I've heard techno bands that were less entertaining than that thing) and there was nothing to be seen (good news for everything else up there) but I was actually hoping for a...
