Maybe the sound is so loud that the signal that goes through the nerve is so powerful it can damage the auditory cortex but I have the same opinion as you I think it comes from the ear.
T that comes from the brain are maybe from stress or antidepressants withdrawal
That's the thing,what about people who are shot?I mean that signal must be one hell of a powerful signal but it never damages the brain as a result,once the injury recovers they're never left with brain damage as a result unless of course they've been shot in the head lol.
Then you hear stories of people developing T from a head trauma,that kind of said to me that"ok it must be brain damage"but then I dug deeper and began reading a lot of people's accounts and other stories about losing hearing from head trauma or developing T and it painted an entirely different picture.
There was a story here in Irish newspapers a few months back,it was about a member of An Garda Shiochana(Irish Police)being attacked whilst on duty at some celebration.
He had a bottle smashed against his head by a drunken idiot and developed T as a result,no hearing loss whatsoever and so it was basically diagnosed as a brain injury.
So then I began wondering,can a smack like that damage the auditory nerve and not the brain?And the answer is absolutely yes it can.
I read countless stories of people having small head traumas and developing T as a result but one in particular stood out to me.
It was a newspaper report about a young man who fell off his bike whilst out with friends.
He hit the side of his face against the ground and went completely deaf on that side,later investigation showed that the fall had actually SEVERED his auditory nerve.This small smack against the ground was enough trauma to sever an entire nerve deep within the skull,no other injuries just a severed nerve apart from cuts and bruises obviously.So if someone smacks their head and develop T it's assumed it's a brain thing,just because they can't test the auditory nerve in detail and thus have no way of knowing what damage is done there.They do hearing tests which test the haircells and if that shows up normal then it's not diagnosed as hearing damage even though if very well may be.
So then I began looking up auditory neuropathy symptoms and the experiences of people with acoustic neuromas to see how their symptoms matched mine,and they were frighteningly similar.
We know when we lose haircells our ability to pick up sound is compromised meaning things get quieter and harder to hear,that's pretty much the text book symptom of haircell loss.
But when we look at their symptoms,they're completely different and match a T and H patients perfectly.
There was a story of a woman who developed an acoustic neuroma on her left auditory nerve,she recalls people's voices becoming loud and irritating along with heavy distortion,everyone's voices sounded like Daleks according to her.Now we know she has zero hearing loss and the cause of her symptoms is this giant tumour sitting on her auditory nerve so what does that tell us?That her symptoms were 100% a result of damage to her auditory nerve and nothing else,her hearing was perfect and normal before the tumour showed up and this same trend continues the more stories I read online.
So why isn't a sound trauma any different?A sound trauma can damage the auditory nerve leaving you with T and H as a result but because they can't find it on a hearing test your told it's a brain thing,flight or fight and all that.
If they couldn't find this woman's tumour they probably would have told her she needs to be de-sensitised all the while there's a tumour there eating her nerve.
We can't pin point EXACTLY where our damage is and just because they can't find it doesn't mean it isn't there,if Libermann can develop an accurate test you will see this entire mindset change overnight.
As I said before,it's clinically undetectable peripharel neuropathy and that's my theory on the whole thing.
