Tinnitus But Perfect Audiogram

[okokok]

My hearing appears to be normal but I'm worried about the whole hidden hearing loss thing. Is there any way of identifying it or am I just going to have to live with not knowing?

Wave type 1 with an Auditory Brain stem Response test I think is what is recommended.

A sweep Otoacoustic Emmisions test might show stuff that doesn't show up on an audiogram as well

I can't get into an audiologist until Nov(Choices in my town and insurance suck), i'm hoping they do ABRs there.

Sweep OAEs are probably not that common either.

You should get a high frequency audiogram to 16KHz. You can see mine at

It looks very normal to 8KHz, but my T left ear is asymmetric (and worse) compared to my good ear above 8KHz.

Thank you guys. This is the first and most likely last time I'll ever ask for help on a forum if that's any indication of how worried this has got me. I really appreciate it
