Hey i dont quite understand, is my hearing too good for all those acoustic traumas?
They dont know it yet , 17 april i have to take (to my deepest regret) a second MRI scan to clearly say what it is
The test was also taken in a quiet special room, they also tested my hair cells in my ear and they found nothing unusual
Ah, in England we call it otoacoustic emissions or OAE for short. As this was normal, you've got nothing to worry about. Try and reduce your anxiety and stay away from trigger sounds that cause trauma

Yes of course one can be skeptical. I'm not trying to dismiss your skepticism.
It is well known that high frequency testing requires specialized equipment (mostly headphones). I was just wondering about the "size" remark, as to reproduce sound in high frequencies, you don't need big speakers (you need small "tweeters"), whereas low frequency sounds require large speakers (hence the massive speakers in bass modules).
What matters is the frequency response of the headphones more than the size, IMHO, as they don't need to be big to generate high frequency sound. However, it seems true that there is some kind of correlation (at least from a market perspective) between a good frequency response and the size of the headphone, perhaps because they need more room for various speakers as well as more sophisticated electronics (filters) and insulation.
At the end of the day, an audiologist is supposed to have calibrated equipment. When I did my HF hearing test, the audiologist told me that the data above 14 kHz or so wasn't to be trusted because of her equipment...
Thank you, I just had my doubts thats all. Yes, I would hope that her audiologist had the proper equipment calibrated to the relevant standards etc
I'm glad everything turned out well for Hania and hope she can find some peace from her T.
Are you taking any medicine or supplements? Ever tried chinese medicine or something like that?

Hi Hania, i'm from Belgium too and suffer from T since 2004. Back then, I remember sitting in the waiting room at the ENT thinking how can I possible ontinue through this. Gradually i could accept my T and eventually it didn't bother me at all anymore. But i continued to expose me to loud music and since march this year my T has become much worse and on top of that severe H. Just avoid exposing yourself to loud noises in the future.
How are you doing these days?
I'm also still looking for a good ENT, i went too see Dr. Verhaert in Leuven but this was a terrible experience.
What are your experiences with UZA?
