Hi everyone. I’m a new here and hoping someone can answer my question.
I’ve been experiencing hearing loss in my left ear for some time now. It’s not a constant hearing loss which is what puzzles me.The only way that I can explain it or compare it to is it’s like a blown speaker in a stereo system. I’m involved with the music at my church and it usually occurs when we hit certain frequencies/notes. This past Sunday it was particularly bad to the point that I actually had to stop momentarily from participating. Bad when you can’t stand your own singing lol! There’s no pain just the my hearing being “staticky “ for lack of a better word. Has anyone ever experienced this.

Frankly, you need to see a doctor since there are several things that can cause hearing loss.

If you are set to self diagnose, I suggest you use one or more of the programs such as Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT and so on.

I saw 3 ’s and 3 Audiologists before I found an Otolaryngologist (ENT) that understood my problem.

I have distortion in my left ear. Broken speaker.
The audiologist and I’ve seen are clueless.
I know that there is nothing that can be done. You just have to try to adapt to it.
It can be hard. Especially getting use to your own distorted voice.

Thanks for the reply’s everyone. It’s something I’ve had to live with for quite a while and will probably continue to. I was just wondering if anyone on this forum was experiencing the same thing and they did about it.

I am VERY old, and was (mis)diagnosed with mild/moderate hearing loss a year ago.
My only complaint prior to diagnosis was a fluctuating inability to hear/make minute adjustments in pitch while playing my low brass instrument.
My singing frequencies are fine.
I am now working with an audiologist who listens to what I’m talking about.
With her guidance I’m using an Oticon 1 in my left ear only, and after about 3 weeks I’m sensing some positive progress.
Unless you’re working with an audiologist who pays attention to what you’re saying about this, you may find yourself being frustrated in your efforts to get help.
Please keep posting your experience. I’m pleased to find someone who gets what I’m going through.
