Hey guys,
So over the last 2 months, I've started to get quiet low-level overtones or distortions. It doesn't sound too odd at first, however strangely it is short lived and alternating. It's always a different frequency and ear each time it occurs. Only one overtone at a time and each can last for 1-10 days. I have no significant tinnitus tones yet besides a bass hum. So it's hard to call it reactivity. They appear kinda like beeps over quiet sound. Mild distortions have also occurred hidden in sound when people talk loud. They are so quiet that it almost feels like I'm simply fixating on a frequency. But they're there as it's one-sided. I still hear clearly ontop.
Anyone have this? I have no idea what it means.
I have mild hyperacusis.
I've never had this before even once in 20 years and then suddenly 5-6 different tones experienced over these past couple of months. For this reason, the sudden change almost feels like it's from the auditory system/brain and not individual ears?
Thankfully I've been able to take this well so far because they have always gone away until now, seemingly never repeating. Fingers crossed.
Guess I'm wondering what can bring this on, is it related to hyperacusis?
