I may have caused this myself. Last August, I experienced firearm acoustic trauma, resulting in mild hearing loss at 500–1000 Hz. To check if my right ear had improved, I played 750 Hz tone videos on YouTube at low volumes using my phone. I did this about eight times over a week. Since then, I...

Where are you getting this statistic? I have firearm-related acoustic trauma with mild hearing loss, but it's at low frequencies, which is unusual. What if that hearing loss improves over time? Your claim also doesn't seem to align with the success stories shared by other posters, where the...
