I've been suffering for about one and a half years now with different hearing and ear problems. I can write more later, but for now I'll start with this:
One of my biggest problems at the moment is with hearing certain objects and sounds. For example, with my laptop's external fan, I hear the basic rotating sound, but then I also hear a much louder, almost electric sound along with it—sometimes more than twice as loud. It changes at times: sometimes it isn't too loud, but other times it gets much louder. If I unplug the fan, the extra sound stops. I've tried several times to check whether it's only in my head, but I can't say for sure whether it's just the fan itself or something else.
Something similar happens outside when there's little wind. I hear freeway noise and ambient background noise, but it feels amplified or doubled in some way. At times it's almost normal, but I still feel that something is off.
Do you have any ideas about this? I have a long history with these issues, and life has been very difficult during this time. Doctors have given me many different guesses, from SCDS to hydrops, but I've mostly been left feeling alone and uncertain about it all.
