I have a mild form of noise-induced hearing loss. Basically if you know how an works with noise induced loss, you get a dip at 4khz. My dip at 4khz in my right ear goes down to 30db, my left ear goes down to about 20 db, which my doctor says is so mild it’s not even worth mentioning to me, because the test has a 5db variation, so at best my right ear goes to 25ish db at 4khz, and my left ear at like perhaps 15 to 20 db. I had the hearing test this past Monday and my low end is perfectly normal.
Typically I know people with noise-induced loss have a dip to about 60khz, but thankfully I don’t have that. I can basically hear just about everything I remember hearing, so what am I missing out on? If you can give me a rough estimate because very very low sounds I can still hear, for example my television at a very low volume and the sound of my own respiration with very very soft breathing (in a quiet room of course). Are some things just not going to sound as high-pitched? I had hyperacusis for a few weeks (due to a trauma at a really loud restaurant) which my doc gave me a steroid for due to inflammation in my inner ear, but now my ears feel better and aren’t sensitive to sound anymore, which is great news. Any information is helpful, thanks

The thing is that the shift is so subtle and slow that day-to-day, you just can’t notice it. It’s like living with a four year old. Yeah, she’s a bit taller today than she was yesterday, but you can’t see it as easily as someone who sees her for the first time in a year.
