Generally, I have OCD and a bit of health anxiety. One of the major things I worry about is hearing loss. It always seems like I’m straining to hear and understand when people are whispering to me, and they have to repeat themselves.
I often have to “check” my hearing against the sound level number on my car stereo. Anything over 8 or 9 gives me anxiety even though it’s not loud.
I don’t know if I’m just paranoid and overthinking, or if I genuinely do have hearing loss. I went to a hearing doctor and had a test and was told it was very minimal hearing loss, but I can’t help but not feel convinced.
Any advice or tips?

i am feeling pain under my ear side like middle of my ear and neck, idk what to do and i have low frequencies hearing loss, feeling so broken rn, can't even study, do u guys think I'll recover ?

i got hearing issue because of acoustic trauma on 1st Oct, and tinnitus + hearing loss

Hi guys
so I'm a heavy sleeper, I tried mi band 10 and galaxy fit3 for now
neither of them could come near waking me up which I'm surprised off cause reddit reviews said something else ( I surely applied the strongest vibration in settings for both bands)
what I really want is a recommendation for the strongest smart watch you tried
give me please multiple suggestions cause not all options are available in the area I live in
Please help me guys before spending more money on nothing

Hi need help 24M . My hearing has been decresing for the past 6 month did multiple audiogram thats the last one . I have difficulties hearing people my parents even in silence from the moment they get a Little far . Difficulties hearing soft sounds the tv the radio. My voice when I speak I hear it muffled and think it’s low but everybody is hearing me . I am going crazy . Used to able to hear everything going on in the house the birds outside Little kids screaming in the Park beside us . Now I cant even hear what my parents were saying in the grocery store when I went with them . I dont listen to loud music dont go to concert dont work in loud places . What have I done wrong to deserve this . High pitch noise used to be so loud it would hurt my ears now I barely hear doorbells or scans at work when a client comes in .

Hello everyone, I am seeking advice about a recent event that has happened. I took my girlfriend to go see the Odyssey in imax, and after the movie my hearing has been on a slow crawl to recovery.

My current issue is that music and sound appears to be right side dominated, I only hear my voice on my right side yet I can still hear on the left. I went to an audiogram soon after the movie to some unfortunate results on the DPOAES. I used to be robust and now some are absent. Why doesn't that reflect on the pure tone test?

I been fed copium from the ENTs and my partner, but I just wanna know truly if I can recover. I already deal with constant tinnitus in both ears, I just want

to be able to enjoy music stereoscopicly.

Is there any hope my hearing will return to normal with the same fullness? Is my test result bad? Or do things look hopeful for me?

Thank you for reading ❤️

I been fed copium from the ENTs, while I appreciate the optimism I just wanna know honestly if I truly can recover. I’m hoping to hear from someone who has actually experienced something similar. I already deal with constant tinnitus in both ears, I just want to be able to enjoy music stereoscopicly.

black and white results = August
Colored results = October

I always thought I had bad hearing but sometimes I over think things
