    PSA: If you wake up completely deaf on one side, go straight to an ENT. It is almost certainly sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and most walk-in clinics will assume your ear just has fluid on it and will send you home to go permanently deaf instead of giving you the steroid injections you need. Do it for my barely-functional right ear.

      The thing is closing the nose and applying pressure with lungs opens the ear. It can also happen due to opening of jaw which results in opening of eat with pop sound(can be heard only by the doer cuz it's internal). I can do it by opening jaw since 6 yrs old😅

She also can't hear men's voices and absolutely flips out when she (or they) walk in a room and she sees them (no men live with us and she's afraid of strangers.) But she can hear high pitched stuff perfectly. Sometimes I wish she didn't, lol.

      ​​​@@aleksandrakowalczyk6043 Hi there! I see an ENT speicalist every few months now to get my ears professionally cleaned. Some of my problems causing me not to hear (ear wax, liquid, etc), are caused because I have VERY small ear canals, plus other stuff. Bassically my ears can't drain by themselves causing fluid, etc to just never go away. So far the cleanings are working better than without them, but I still get some fluid build up, etc and we're figuring out what's happening and how to balance it. I'm also taking a daily antiistimine to help with drying out my ears, etc and control allergies that make it worse. I'm also working with my ENT specialist to see an allergist (I have other issues that may or may not be related or just making it worse, but I'm working with my care team to see if I also have an autoimmune disorder or another genetic disorder which might be affecting it. I have a lot of other medical stuff that prompted them to take a closer look - like I also have fibromyalgia, jaw* issues, etc which also runs in my family with the some of the same people with hearing/ear problems).

    people may be a little confused as to how someone can hear -30db. Audiograms are measured in dBHL (decabel hearing level) which is calibrated slightly differently, with 0dbhl at what was considered "normal healthy hearing for an average person at peak".
    This is a really good video for explaining hearing loss!

    • @ZigOutdoors
      @ZigOutdoors 2 года назад +9

      Exactly this! It's often glossed over that the decibel is a *relative* unit. If one doesn't state how the scale is normalized, the unit doesn't communicate anything of value. It could be -30dBSPL (sound pressure level), -30dBHL (hearing level), or -30dB relative to a giant PA system blasting at max volume (the speaker at max would be 0). As a result, -30dB could mean anything from "so quiet you can't hear it" to "so loud it will rupture your eardrums."

    • @humanbutterfly
      @humanbutterfly Год назад +2

      I understand that! I was so confused when a standard hearing test came back with one value in negative db. The audiologist was kind and explained 0 db as the expected hearing threshold for humans or baseline. There are "quieter" sounds.

He mentions lower sodium diet in this video, yet caffeine is a big problem too. Out to eat one day and the waitress gave a regular cup of coffee to my husband, instead of decaffeinated. He drank only about 1/4 cup and he knew an attack was coming: fullness in his ear, dizziness, nausea. Two of the staff helped him to the car but before sitting down, he started vomiting and sweating profusely. He must take a pill every day ,to keep that ear draining correctly.

    So I have a lot of trouble hearing low noises. I can feel vibrations of base in some speakers but the lower sections of, like, base guitars, I cannot hear. Some deeper voices I can’t hear at all. Those are rare, but I used to have to change teachers in high school because of it.
    I can hear super high and faint noises as well. I have to have a white noise machine to sleep to drown it all out because the sound of electricity, and bugs, and the house settling can get so loud it’s overwhelming. I even have my own custom set of ear plugs that I wear most of the time.
    Im super sensitive about echos and irregular noises. The shower with all the noise can be hard sometimes too.
    It has been a superpower at times though. I’ve rescued dozens of stray kittens from all sorts of places when no one else could find them. I’ve even practiced with judging the directions sounds are coming from. I can hear when some appliances or devices run out of battery because they stop making their sound. I can even hear emergency sirens and alarms from almost impossible distances. But they have to be high noises.
    The lowest note on a standard 72 key piano is close to the lowest I can hear, though it starts to fade about an octave above that. The "texture"of a sound has a lot to do with it too. Airy and smooth sounds like a flute are good, but scratchy smooth sounds like a violin are a bit too much. Oboes are the best though. Double Bases don’t make a noise to me. Base brass like Tubas make a kind of shuddery noise, but I don’t hear a note or anything. Some of them if they’re loud sound like they have layers, and I can only hear the top ones, even though I know they’re base instruments. Some dogs I can’t really hear when they bark. Movies that have rumbley low noises I can feel through the ground and the seat, but it’s mostly silent… people ask a lot of questions and I’m happy to share, because sometimes I’ll find out another noise that I’m missing, but tell them one they’re missing.

My hearing is also really sensitive - I get strangely irritated by sounds like rain dropping against metal windowsill for example and I can hear TV two floors below me. But I constantly tell people to lower the radio volume if its playing in the same room because I can't hear the words in songs when they are played loud, not to mention - the loud, messed up noise is draining me and causing anxiety.

    So that’s why every girl I try to talk to seems to just ignore me

    when you played the mosquito tone, I certainly heard it that was waaaayyyy too loud, what frequency was that? it seemed quite a bit lower pitch than a crt which is at the edge of my hearing in my mid 20's(I don't hang out at places that play loud music/other noise, CRT because I have one for retro gaming and parents still have one when I'm at their house). When I was a kid I could tell when my brother was up if I heard the crt whine, the tv might be on mute at 6 am but you can't stop the whining :)

    I was diagnosed with meniere’s years ago, but now I know it’s most likely cochlear hydrops because I don’t experience vertigo and my hearing is often perfect. It changes based on diet and allergies. When I do lose it, it’s higher frequencies in one ear. I can still hear everyone, but their voices are much deeper to the point of being unrecognizable.

    “The mosquito sound has been playing for the last couple seconds, can you hear it?”
    No… but I felt it. I could tell when it started before he said anything, and it felt bizarre. Like a kind of pressure.

    That explains why my grandma enjoy old folk songs a lot lol cause usually those were sung in low frequencies
