What does it mean when your hearing is distorted?
The most common cause of hyperacusis is damage to the inner ear from ageing or exposure to loud noise. Hyperacusis is often associated with tinnitus (buzzing, ringing or whistling noises in the ears) and distortion of sounds.
Can distorted hearing be corrected?
There's no specific cure for it, but some treatments can help. These include sound therapy, behavioral therapy, and hearing aids in the case of hearing loss. If your hearing does not improve, make sure to see your doctor to find out what it is and what to do about it.
Does Covid 19 affect your ears?
Sudden hearing loss as an initial symptom
Based on published case reports, it appears that sudden hearing loss is rarely a symptom of coronavirus onset. In a June 2020 report, several Iranian patients reported hearing loss in one ear, as well as vertigo.
Can tinnitus cause distorted hearing?
Some individuals who have severe tinnitus hear sounds as distorted and some have hyperacusis (reduced tolerance to sounds) or phonophobia (fear of sounds). Tinnitus can be referred to one ear, or both ears, or to a location inside the head.
