Hearing aids are not designed to accommodate the wide dynamic range of music or the sudden, large changes in intensity. As a result, hearing aid users may experience distortion when loud peaks or passages of music are compressed by the hearing aid. Maximum power output at 95 dB SPL is adequate for speech.
Why am I hearing music 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. Usually both ears are affected, although it is possible to have it in only one ear.
