Hi all
I had a hearing test done last Friday. I am confused by the results and the explanation of the audiometrist. Appreciate if someone can shed some light.
I had a hearing test done last Friday. I am confused by the results and the explanation of the audiometrist. Appreciate if someone can shed some light.
- I was told by the audiometrist that I have exceptionally good hearing as both ears capture at about -10 db. However, he also said that I have high frequency hearing loss of about 9 khz in my left ear and 16 khz in my right ear. I presumed this is why the ringing in my right ear is louder? Does this make sense? I remember someone wrote about this in one of the thread but I can't find it now.
- I compared the results with the first hearing test that I did during the onset of T in 2006. The results then were in normal hearing limits. Does this mean that there is a change in my hearing or that the first audiologist did not test for negative range?
- In view of the latest results, what does this mean for my tinnitus and hyperacusis?
- Last but not least, my GP has some device in his office, which gives off a sharp vibrating noise that hurts my ears. I have always brushed it off as as some mosquito repellent and attributed the irritation to my sensitive hearing. With the latest results, could this also explains why I seem to be the only person who is irritated by that buzzing noise?
