Hey everyone. I'm writing this post because I have heightened hearing sensitivity in the last couple of days, and I haven't been able to produce. I'm planning on getting my hearing checked, but I'm curious if any of you have ever had the same possible underlying causes, or symptoms, and how it turned out for you.
From what I've seen online, these things can contribute to sudden hearing difficulty/discomfort/loss:
Depression
Anxiety
Sleep deprivation
Stress
Hay fever
Excessive listening of music (both in terms of volume and time)
All of these things apply to me currently, though the hay fever is recent. My sleep deprivation/anxiety/depression/stress is getting better because I am back from school now and have been getting enough sleep. I have also been very careful with how much and how loud my music listening has been, and my hearing is slowly improving. I went from many moderately loud sounds bothering my ears to now feeling occasional discomfort.
Anyways, fingers crossed - regardless of how this turns out, I'll be protecting my ears from now on, and I hope you do the same! Scary stuff.
TL:DR Hearing bothering me, want to see if anecdotal evidence is a good sign for me or not
